The benefits of a home office obviously vary from individual to individual but WAH’s sponsored employee surveys have identified the following key benefits…
- Competition for space. Many staff now have partners or children also working or studying from home and a dedicated Garden Office removes them from the competition for home space. Brownie points galore!
- Clear separation of work and home. Although the office is now close to home, i.e. in the garden, there is a clear separation with work starting and ending when staff enter the Garden Office
- Private workspace. Providing a dedicated space, where calls cannot be overhead, is popular with staff and provides a more professional space for interaction with clients via video conferencing
- Quality of environment. WAH Solutions “modular” units provide high quality work environments that can be bespoke to provide “plug and play” ready-made offices or can be fitted-out by employees themselves
- Fully paid for by the business. Having a dedicated office space is not only tax efficient, it also allows employers to cover all business-related costs such as broadband, WiFi, printer costs and quality ergonomic office furniture, with no complexities of split expense claims that come from “internal” home offices
