Homeworking
Introduction
Homeworking as a concept covers a number of working situations, including outworkers or piece-work, incidental homeworking and agreed and defined regular homeworking. It denotes a shift from the traditional office working pattern of being physically present in an office from ‘9 to 5’. The practice pre-dates the 2020 pandemic by many years, however, the popularity of the practice increased dramatically as millions of workers were relocated from offices to homes in order to reduce risk of virus transmission. It is often considered as a more productive way for the modern business to operate efficiently and can offer financial savings such as the reduction in required office space. Keeping pace with the high demands of business management in the 21st Century, working across international boundaries and maximising employee working hours has transformed the way we work. Employers are creating work environments that support agile, dynamic and resilient organisations by introducing different ways of working flexibly. This reduces travel time and contributes to the achievement of a better work life balance bringing benefits to the employee and employer alike with research by ACAS finding a mixture of home and office working providing the most job satisfaction and work performance while reducing stress.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics prior to the pandemic lockdown showed that less than 30% of workers were fulfilling part of their working role away from the office. However the impact of the pandemic saw those figures rise dramatically, with the Office for National Statistics stating that in April 2020 “46.6% of people in employment did some work at home” with 86% of these doing so as a result of coronavirus. In February 2022 UK government guidance to work from home ended, however less than 20% of workers who had converted to working from home returned to the office, 80% of those surveyed planned to work in a hybrid pattern.
