Alan, I think you may have missed the point of the website mate, I've used it to help some of my colleagues work from home. Obviously it's not for everyone, as a teacher would have a hard time running a class room of students from home.

This has been very useful for my company, as we have a number of field based sales and marketing staff who feel that they have to travel into London to our head offices. This website has helped demonstrate how their time can be better used by working from home or making better use of flexible workspace locations.

All the best mate

Same for me mate, I've had the idea of remote working kicked into touch on more than one occasion. Although the calculator on the website is a very useful tool to put the argument into commercial terms, time saved, money saved, more effective use of time, etc.

I've been given until the end of Q1 to demonstrate the benefits of flexible working, if this does work then the business will have to take a serious look at it.
