There are more than 10 million of us working on business telephone systems in offices in the UK. Whilst we use more than 200 million square metres of office space, we actually sit at our desks for less than 10 per cent of the day, so its easy to see why remote working is becoming more and more popular.

 

How Your Business Benefits

	Employees take fewer sick days when they work from home. Sick leave costs British industries approximately £11 billion a year.
	Companies such as BT have invested huge amounts of time and money in reviewing their policy on home workers. The company estimates the cost of an office desk as £6,000 per year where as equipping a teleworker with home office facilities costs just £2,000. The company estimate a saving of £52 million every year on office costs alone.
	Directly Financial has seen its productivity rise since it developed its business communication system to enable a number of its team to work at home and be connected to the office.
