Working from home or teleworking is becoming more popular with the introduction of faster communication links and broadband. This allows an employee to remain in touch with the office whilst working from home.

Someone who teleworking can work flexibly around their own family in an environment that is familiar; however, sometimes this flexibility can clash with family demands and as a result teleworking can be less efficient than normal working.

long periods of time.

No human contact to discuss work issues - so if
issues arise, it is hard to do anything about it.

easily distracted and side tracked when at home.

Homely distractions such as children or pets - leads
to less productive and quality work produced.
