Avoid the travel chaos by teleworking
Posted 24 January 2007 at 1:50PM by Alexa Williamson in Connecting to the Internet
The snow and cancelled trains, today, caused some of my colleagues problems getting into our London office. This made me decide to write about why teleworking can be a valuable practice for a business and how you set it up with BT.
Actually, teleworking is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. According to recent statistics, one in ten workers in the UK is primarily a teleworker.
The benefits of home working can include:
- Staff productivity levels boosted through more comfortable working environments and less office-related distractions
- Employee motivation rising because of better work-life balance and less stressful surroundings
- Reduced likelihood of staff sickness due to illnesses circulated in the office
- Savings made through reduction in office premises and equipment
- Broader employment pool including disabled people who may be housebound
- More mobile sales staff who are based closer to clients instead of the office
- Higher retention of employees such as working parents
