With it being easier than ever to keep in touch with the office, without the need to be desk bound, more and more employees are working from home, or are in roles involving travel where home is used as a base.
There are different degrees of homeworking or tele-commuting, with some employees working almost entirely at home while others work from home only occasionally. Employers must consider if the job and job holder are suitable for homeworking and the impact it may have on their business.
