National Work from Home Day highlights desire for flexible working

Today's National Work from Home Day has re-emphasised the state of flux in which British working patterns are currently in.

Whilst traditional working structures dictate that employees travel to a hub or office to work, new research has revealed that millions of UK workers would like the opportunity to work “remotely” for part of the week.

Currently, only six per cent of the UK workforce regularly works from home, according to the TUC - but another four million would like to work from home for at least part of the week.

The organisation believes there is still employer resistance to home working, while lack of access to fast and reliable internet may be a constraint in some parts of the UK.
