Work From Home
How to make money working at home - and get the most out of life
By Judy Heminsley
It is estimated that currently more than 3.5 million or 13% of the UK labour market works from home full- time and many more do so for at least part of the week. This a trend that is only set to increase over the next few years and employers wake up to the productivity and cost savings of providing flexible working arrangements.
In today’s world the virtual office means that more and more of us are able to work from anywhere- home being the most obvious option. Cloud computing, video conferencing and mobile communications are just some of the enablers that mean you can be in touch with your colleagues or team remotely from anywhere on the planet and these resources are only set to expand.
There are a multitude of reasons why individuals choose to work from home and Judy uses 20 years of experience to explore the benefits and pitfalls of both working from home for someone else, as well as the challenges of being self-employed and setting up a business from your home.
Written in clear and concise chapters, Work from Home is an informative companion to anyone
considering their options for a more flexible working environment. Judy guides the reader through many of the practical implications, such as setting up an office and establishing critical communication channels as well as many of the less obvious ‘soft’ dilemma’s such as ensuring appropriate work life balance and maintaining a professional image despite a less formal working arrangement.
Judy uses a selection of relevant and interesting examples and well-chosen statistics which enhanced what is a thorough and well-structured book that enables readers to dip in and out or indeed return to any section to refer to a range of well-judged checklists and case studies.
Work from Home, is one of those books, that avoids being flash and instead lets honest insights inform the reader. For a first-time entrepreneurs considering starting a business from home, this book should be one of many tools you best weigh-up your personal situation and enable a smoother transition to starting your own business at home.
