Working from Home

To mark National Work from Home Day the takeITon campaign launched a free Guide to Home Working.

Home-working can have many benefits for both individuals and businesses. In some cases employees have claimed it makes them more loyal to their firm, and the personal benefits often encourage increased productivity. Also, by avoiding a commute into the office, employers can implement significant cost savings and efficiencies.
