Working from
home can work
By

If you've struck a deal with your boss that allows you to work from home
some of the time, you're one of the lucky ones.
According to research
from communications firm Mitel, more than a third of bosses think that
if allowed to work from home, employees won't work as hard as if they
were in the office.
However, 41 per cent of employees
believe that they can be more productive when working from home.

Psychologist Dr David Lewis said:
“If you trust and respect your employees to get the job done, they will
trust and respect you in return and do the best they possibly can,
regardless of whether they are in the office or not.
“In fact many businesses are finding potential
recruits demanding flexible working as part of their package alongside
salary and traditional benefits. Businesses must keep up with, and adapt
to, ever-evolving working practices if they want to continue recruiting
and retaining the cream of the talent pool,” continued Dr Lewis.
Flexible working arrangements are now a reality thanks
to faster internet connections and reliable communication networks that
allow telephone conferencing and even real-time face-to-face meetings,
according to Mitel.
“With high speed broadband currently accounting for 70
per cent of all household internet connections, the technology to enable
home working is now more sophisticated than ever, said Graham Bevington,
managing director of Mitel.
“There is no need for employers to panic that people
working from home or outside the office cannot contribute to the
business as a fully functioning member of the team,” added Bevington.
