Government look to promote home working

Monday 21st November 2011

The government is planning to make it easier for businesses to understand the benefits of allowing their staff to engage in home working and other flexible techniques.
 
Transport minister Norman Baker has launched the Anywhere Working consortium, set up to promote the advantages of the option.
 
Trades Union Congress general secretary Brendan Barber last week stated: "Smarter working must be part of the modern economy. Many employees want greater access to flexible and high quality home working and employers should do more to provide it."
 
Mr Baker claimed that encouraging businesses to think flexibly and pay more attention to the location of their staff is the "smart thing" to do.
 
Jonathan Swan, research and policy manager at Working Families, recently said flexible working can help firms to attract the very best staff.
