Do your Homework

Following on from my previous post, I thought I’d address the issue of those people who live too far from their workplace to consider walking, running or riding to work.

In current times, where companies are ever more conscious of saving money, improving working conditions and having a green public image, there is a simple suggestion you could put to your boss that can contribute to all of the above.

Can you work from home?

It doesn’t have to be every day, but every day you’re not taking up space in the workplace, your cost to the company goes down, you do not need to travel (saving time and emissions), and what most people find is that they are more productive.

Clearly there are certain jobs where this just isn’t an option, such as a bus driver, teacher or chef, but there are plenty where this can be very effective, such as an accounts, sales or marketing.

So if you can, why not give it a try. The benefits can be great for you, your lifestyle, your employer, and of course the environment.
