The issue of working from home is now high on the agenda in the business world.

The acclaimed Archer Mathieson 'Changing Workplace Survey 2006' confirmed that a significant number of leading finance professionals believed that the pattern of flexible hours and home working is set to increase over the next few years. More than 250 senior professionals and leading industry experts responded to the survey - with a staggering 94% expecting the need for flexible working to grow!

In addition, a recently published Institute of Directors (IoD) directive on homeworking was equally positive about the value of home and flexible working, suggesting that managers should seriously consider this as a way of "lowering staff turnover, boosting output and cutting costs".

The principle of homeworking means that directors and owner-managers can now offer their staff far greater flexibility as to where and when they work. It's far more than having a mobile and a laptop, its about Virtual Private Networks (VPN), secure access to your desktop and the ability to interact with your PC files - an extension of the office network, directly accessible wherever you are, whether at home or aboard.
