Hampshire, UK (PRWEB UK) 6 January 2012
Home based businesses in the UK have increased considerably in recent years. New analysis by the TUC shows the number of homeworkers in the UK is currently around 3.7 million. The homeworking trend is growing. Business secretary Vince Cable announced plans to change the law by 2013 to give every employee the right to request a flexible working pattern.
There can be many different advantages and reasons to work from home depending on individual circumstances. Both money and time can be saved by installing a http://www.southwicks.co.uk/ home garden building or studio as the daily commute to work is cut out. An average worker can accumulate an extra 3 weeks per year by not having to commute to and from the head office. Also, the recent rail fare increases only compound matters. All this extra time can easily be fed back into the business, or enjoying additional days as leisure time on favourite hobbies. The home garden building is just a short walk out of the back door becoming very convenient, especially during the cold and wet mornings. It can even be more satisfying when the radio is tuned in to the local traffic news to listen to all the traffic chaos.
With modern technology like email, fast internet speeds, wireless connections, networking etc, it has become much easier to run a business from home and still have colleagues on call as if they were sat in the same office. The “virtual world” makes everything and everyone much more accessible.
The work/life balance is very important and invariably both parents need to work, and still have the demands of a young family. Setting up a home business from a garden building or studio could be very beneficial where the worker has their own space to work, but are only a few steps away to attend to the needs of the family. A garden building can be a fantastic and refreshing environment that provides a much more laid back atmosphere to work, increasing productivity, motivation and general all round mental satisfaction.
