As Work Wise Week 2008 begins, Anton Levchuk, director of marketing at Famatech, examines where we are with remote working.
Remote and home working is becoming so popular that the UK has even got a National Work from Home Day, which is on Thursday 15 May 2008. Five million workers across the UK are expected to 'log on' from home this year in what is becoming a very popular option for UK workers.
Home workers are just one segment of the growing number of employees who spend some or all of their day away from their main office. Sales teams and field engineers have, by the nature of their jobs, always spent a large part of their time away from their desks. But now they are being joined by a far broader range of staff and executives, who have adopted the maxim that work is not where you go, it is what you do.
Fans of flexible working, of which remote working is just one element, have been trying to communicate the benefits for some time, and that message is starting to get through.
