Remote/Home Working

We are looking to increase the use of remote and home working to help alleviate the pressure on office space and car parking (as well as the other numerous benefits it will bring in terms of engagement, encouraging a more diverse and inclusive workforce, increasing agility).  Do anyone have any experience of implementing remote working?

  • Hi Serena,

    Following from Steve's helpful note, there are also some excellent articles on agile working. When we implemented this, I found the key people challenges were to:

    1) Realign management to focus on work outcomes rather than whether an employee is sitting at his/her desk into the late hours etc. We ran a number of workshops on this.
    2) Obtain buy-in from the top, ideally with members of the Exec/Directors acting as role models by embracing the new approach of working form home.

    Hope this helps.

    Best,
