[quote=Anonymous]Just wondering. You don't have to name the company. If your company doesn't allow it, do they say why?

Almost all of my friends work from home one day a week in various industries. I started a job that allows it about a year ago - most in my department do it once a week - and it is incredible the positive impact it has on my life. My company has been pretty vocal on our intranet about why they allow it (some people work from home more often) and they have tied it directly to $$$ - it has allowed them to close offices/floors etc, and they've found productivity goes up when people aren't commuting hours. There is apparently a whole research base around it. Fewer people have offices but the upside for the company is that people can collaborate, but also have space at home to get their non-team work done.

I was discussing this with a friend recently who works for another company in HR - her company is now at capacity and hiring more so they are piloting a desk-sharing program with the idea that people stagger schedules and work from home 2-3x a week. She said people are for the most part excited about it.[/quote]
