Benefits of flexible working could be gained through cloud hosting services
More companies could use cloud hosting services after a flexible working organisation said that home work can leave staff feeling less stressed and financially better off.
Peter Thomson, director of the Telework Association, said that there could be a significant saving for both workers and businesses through home working as the cost of fuel and rail travel continues to increase.
This could see more firms using cloud services such as unified communications to help workers have a platform for working from locations away from the office.
It comes as research published by the Office for National Statistics last week (June 2nd) found that people working in London take longer to get to work with 56 per cent averaging a commute of 30 minutes of more to reach the office.
Mr Thomson said that stress and cost reductions are the main positives.
"There are clear financial benefits to individuals if they don't have to travel to work four days a week or they can stay at home one day and work from there or perhaps work compressed hours – I might get my two weeks' work done in nine days and get an extra day off," he said.
