Remote working, whether working from home, another site or office or while on the road, is at the forefront of the strategic agenda for the UK public sector, as it takes the lead on the Government's Flexible Working Regulations 2002, which came into force in 2003.
Remote working policies can help the NHS operate more efficiently through rationalising estates and travel budgets and by being more financially flexible. But remote working is not just about cost savings. The NHS initiative, Improving Working Lives, is a blueprint by which NHS employers and staff can measure the management of human resources. Organisations are kite-marked against their ability to demonstrate a commitment to improving the working lives of their employees.
