 Berkshire (UK), 7th July 2011: A survey of 1000 London workers last week revealed just 11 percent of were affected by the teachers strike on Thursday, yet 55 percent believe if there were the threat of future strikes it would encourage their employers to introduce IT measures that would allow them the flexibility to work from home should they be affected in the future. Of the 65 percent who confirmed they already have the facilities to work from home, 72 percent stated that they actually enjoy doing so leaving just 28 percent who’d prefer to be in the office. Seventy seven percent of the sample believed their bosses trust them enough to remain at their home desk and get their work done.  However, the six million dollar question is really whether employers are right to trust their staff to be assiduous when left unsupervised. In fact, 48 percent of the sample admitted to being terribly distracted by chores and other things that need doing at home, confessing that they can’t resist skiving off.
