Expert says home working has advantages

Home workers gain a number of advantages over office-based staff, it has been claimed. Writing for NN, Jon Reed, of the American Educational Guidance Center, said the ability to work flexibly – both in terms of time and location - is a major bonus.

He stated: "When you are at home you can work nicely, but also be available in case of any family emergencies or non-work related needs. The elimination of commuting time makes a big difference to the working day, Mr Reed added, avoiding waste and encouraging greater productivity.

"Think of what you could do if you had two hours more available to you each day. You could use that time for your work, or for some leisure time activity that you cherish," he suggested.

Reduced expenditure is the other major advantage of working from home, he said, especially for self-employed people who can save not only on travel but also on office and utility costs.

Earlier this year, insurance firm Aviva predicted that one quarter of the UK working population would be carrying out employment duties from their home within a decade.

The desire to improve the work-life balance will encourage a major shift towards flexible working, home lifestyle manager Julie Fromant claimed.
