“My home is my office.”
Home-based professionals can’t afford to be disconnected from 
the office, or out of reach of their colleagues. They need to be 
permanently visible to the business and have constant access to 
office-based information and resources. This means they depend 
on reliable network connectivity with e-mail, internet and all the 
applications available to everyone else back at headquarters.
It also means being able to manage calls effectively, even when 
they come through on multiple devices.
Devices that are right at home
Home workers therefore need tools that are straightforward to install, easy-
to-use and offer top-quality phone and networking capabilities. They need to 
simplify call management across multiple devices and keep their colleagues 
informed of their availability so they can be reached easily. And they need 
ergonomically designed devices that work with them.
Because their office is also their home, home-based professionals don’t want 
bulky equipment or cabling that clutter their personal space. They also want 
to take advantage of the fact that they are telephone-based and can have both 
hands free to engage in other tasks while on the phone. Long hours on the 
phone mean that comfort and posture are also important considerations.
Home working in all its forms 
is here – and here to stay.” 
‘Home workers’ come in many different varieties, and there is now no single 
definition of who they are. For some workers, such as part-time or flexible 
employees, the home workplace is simply an alternative to the office. For others, 
such as the ‘smart’ working self-employed, the home serves as a central ‘hub’  
while they’re out and about. And for the self-employed creative, media, IT and 
phone-based service workers, the home is the sole workspace.
Whatever shape it takes, there are many organisational benefits of home working. However, these 
are often ‘lost in translation,’ and many companies have yet to come to grips with the variety of 
home workers or to capitalise on the many business opportunities that home working presents.
What is undeniable is that, around the globe, mobile and home working practices are here, and 
they’re here to stay. The US leads the world in the number of professionals taking up the new 
way of working. Worldwide, the mobile worker population is to increase to more than 1.19 billion*, 
or 35% of all workers, and more than half of the Western European workforce will no longer be 
strictly office-based by 2013. And as Southern European countries shift to more services-based 
economies, they will also increasingly need to adopt technologies that enable home working.
