    Yes, wherever possible, employers should become more flexible and offer employees more choice.

    Make it attractive to work from home, subsidise home working to cover extra energy bills

    Agree home working should be made more attractive to employers by tax rebates. Helps the environment and protects public transport.
    I as an over 70 would feel ok to meet my son if he were still working from home, but not if he returned to his office.

    I have now been working from home for six weeks, having never been permitted to do so before. Like the original poster, I feel I get more done, mainly because my morning prep and travelling time has gone from my daily routine. However, my employers needs have to be considered too, and I feel that over the years much legislation has been forced on employers which almost allows certain groups to dictate their own terms and conditions, and causes resentment among other staff. Flexibility is a great thing, but there has to be a balance too. I really don't think employers need any more laws forced on them at this time. For many employers having the staff in the workplace is the better option.
