Managers guide to home working

Introduction

Home working is the term used to describe a situation in which a worker agrees to undertake some or all of his or her job for the employer from the comfort of his or her own home. Home workers might work full or part time.

An arrangement in which an employee conducts some or all of his or her job from home can, nevertheless, be very productive with careful thinking and preparation, as well as regular good communication.

Why should homework be permitted?

Working from home can provide a variety of major benefits, but they must be objectively assessed against the possible drawbacks. Working from home is not for everyone, and not all occupations are ideal for doing so.
