Did you know?
More than half of UK workers are now based at home. In February 2022, 84% of workers who had to work from home because of the coronavirus pandemic said they planned to carry out a mix of working at home and in their place of work in the future.
Working from home has it's dilemmas...
-
No one to chat to by the coffee machine
-
Home and work lives become merged
But there are lots of good things too!
-
Better work-life balance
Less time commuting means more time sleeping, at home, or working.
-
Less stress
Give the commuting stress a miss.
-
Flexi-work
Work around the best times for you. Not everyone thrives on 9-5.
-
Save money
No commuting costs at all!
-
Chat online
Use Skype and other online tools to communicate real-time.
-
Relax
Work in your pyjamas if you'd like!
-
Peace and quiet
Less distractions from your colleagues (but perhaps some from your family or pets!).
-
More productive
Sometimes working to your own schedule, in a quiet atmosphere, means you'll likely be more productive.
