This is one of a series of tips extracted from the forthcoming Green Business Bible e-book:

Many businesses are too scared to let their staff work out of sight, but working from home is eco-friendly. The Department for Transport estimates that teleworkers working at home reduce their mileage between 48-77% on teleworking days and 11 to 19% overall. Flexible working allows you to cut office space, which cuts heating, cooling and lighting costs and associated emissions.

I wrote a longer article on this for Management Issues.

Another tip next Monday!
