Millions of people did not turn up for work this morning but they won't be facing a telling off by their boss tomorrow as today is National Work from Home Day.
Work Wise UK, the not-for-profit organisation behind the initiative, claims five million workers are taking part.
The aim of the scheme is to demonstrate the value of avoiding the stresses and strains associated with the traditional workplace environment. Organisers say that without the often long commute many have to endure, people can be more productive.
The environment also benefits, Work Wise UK says, due to less people on roads and using public transport which cuts CO2 emissions.
"This is not a utopia," said Phil Flaxton, the organisation's chief executive. "This will be reality as smarter working practices, such as home working, become more widely adopted.
"Even if staff worked only an average of one day every two weeks at home, this would result in 10% less people commuting and travelling.
