HOME OFFICES

There can be considerable benefits to an organisation of allowing senior staff to work from home for a day or two a week:

It enables them to spend time focussed on strategy rather than operations.
It is generally perceived as a perk, most commonly because it can significantly reduce the effects of commuting.
It makes it more practical for them to work outside normal working hours.

Senior staff can be trusted to work productively while working at home, thus eliminating one of the major concerns with home workers. However, a business can suffer if such staff are absent and don't have full access to the information and systems available to them in the office. An equal concern is that the time of senior staff could be absorbed resolving IT problems as a result of them working away from their IT resource.

Protronics are able to deliver IT systems comparable to those available in the office both in terms of their completeness and their speed. In most cases, the applications do not run on the home PC, but on a system located in the office. This facilitates IT staff in providing effective support and reduces the need for senior staff to commit time to resolving IT problems.
