Employees can benefit from doing IT Jobs at home
 People with jobs in IT are benefiting from working at home, claim Work Wise UK.
England celebrates National Work from Home day on May 15th with over five million workers expected to participate and enjoy the advantages of working at home.
Employees who work at home are likely to have higher morale because they avoid long commutes and have a better work/life balance allowing them to spend more time with their family.
"The benefits of working from home, even occasionally, are now widely accepted," said Phil Flaxton, chief executive of Work Wise UK.
Businesses can also benefit from offering such flexibility as workers are proven to be more productive and they can recruit from a larger pool of people.
"Not only does it reduce the amount of commuting people have to do, enhancing their work-life balance, but many are actually more productive," said Mr Flaxton.
According to workwiseuk, BT improved its productivity by 20 per cent after it widely implemented home working.
Over the past decade the number of home workers has increased by 600,000 according to research by the TUC.
