... 1 in 12 workers now benefit by Teleworking
|
|
Over the last 10
years or more, the number of people working from a Home Office has more than doubled to over 2.5
million - and that's just the UK
Government's official estimate! The real number is significantly more as the latest "must have" in the property
market is a professional Home Office.
Teleworking
is the biggest change in working patterns since the industrial
revolution & a wide spectrum of clients are benefiting from Telecottage support
- are you? In
running our own successful enterprise, reliable suppliers promptly delivering ordered
products undamaged is a necessity.
Regularly asked "where do you get yours from", the following links are
to our recommended suppliers.
WARNING:
REMANUFACTURED OR REFILLED CARTRIDGES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE
TELECOTTAGE

Whether
you plan to run your own business in your home or become a
telecommuter working for another business, step back & assess
your basic Home Office activities:
 | Will you be inviting
clients or employees into your office? |
| Are you storing inventory or
will you be adding inventory later? |
|
|
Create a
short
description of your office activities before contacting
The Telecottage for an appointment.
With
years of experience in working from a Home Office, both as an employee
& self employed,
a visit by an experienced 'homeworker' is a good place to start ... and
saves purchasing blunders! |
|
|
|
Any
successful Home Office must provide the same facilities that are
available in a traditional office environment without conflicting
with your household, neighbours or local Planning Restriction &
Regulations. 2 million workers now benefit from working at home; but
the issues you face are similar, no matter what you do.
|
Imagine yourself as a potential client
visiting your Home Office or an employee
requiring parking, access to your Home Office, bathroom and
kitchenette facilities etc. Other o bvious points
to consider would include
sufficient power sockets provision, telephone access
points or wireless DECT.
Consider shared wireless broadband internet access in addition to the furniture layout &
bathroom facilities. |
|
|
|
If major changes of use are required or you share a common access, put your
proposals to your neighbours first. With their co-operation, any
discussions with your local Planning Officer will likely be more
successful.
