While we appreciated the options it gave us for our family life (I work part-time, and we have three school-age children), we joked that “Workplace of the Future: We don’t care WHERE you work your 80 hours, as long as you DO work 80 hours…” It also made it a little easier when he did leave – pack up your drawer in a lawyer’s box, turn in your electronics and you’re off…

Rather cool eh? And the fact they are renting these and not selling them, plus focusing squarely on employer benefits is testament to what you say.

I still think MOST businesses here in the UK don’t quite understand all the benefits. Does not surprise me.

Here, it’s rare to find a company interested in working with remotely located employees while in the UK it seems companies (with high real estate costs) are doing everything possible to have staff work from home.
