According to BT, businesses can both reduce costs and increase productivity levels by embracing flexible working schemes.
BT Workstyle director David Dunbar claimed staff and their employers can benefit from non-traditional working arrangements, meaning HR departments should be willing to promote their uptake.
It’s been suggested that many professionals enjoy working in their own home, helping them to become up to 20 per cent more productive.
Also, from a business perspective, Mr Dunbar noted that home working schemes can help companies reduce rental costs, bills and other expenditure.
