Working from Home issues
Some employees will work from home but others will go to a half-way house or co-working hub close to home which will still allow for the separation of work from home but with less of a commute.
Research has shown that working from home can be more productive but may not be as good for career progression/promotion.
Promotion needs interaction so going into the workplace is still valuable.
Networking gives nuggets, makes you more visible, leading to better reviews leading to a better job.
Men working from home get interrupted less than women whose day tends to extend.
