Homeworking is a growing trend in the UK with over 8 million people now operating commercially from home either full or part time. Advancements in technology such as high speed broadband, increased productivity gains and reduced costs are all key factors that are influencing the recent rise in homeworking.
The government has also introduced new legislation and policies such as The Flexible Working Right, and recent significant Tax Benefits that are increasing its popularity.
It’s a great concept but few homes provide a suitable environment for productive home working. Most people want to make some physical separation between work life and home life and also free up valuable living space, thereby achieving a better work/life balance.
