Flexible working is a key factor for IT professionals when considering whether to accept a new job, according to a study from online recruitment specialist The IT Job Board.

According to the new survey, a quarter of IT workers had turned down a job offer due to a lack of flexible working opportunities.

An interesting article, I have to say, I’d love the chance to implement a more flexible approach to working, admittedly in small organizations the disruption or perceived disruption element might prove to much, but in a team of say 10 unix server guys, could I not say one week a month support can work from home, projects need to be on site anyway, providing it is done in the right way, that some support staff are on site, it could be benefitial to people and save on desk costs.

The perception issues remain though, and then if the guys working from home, do I still have to pay them the same? Keep in mind the money they save in desk costs, pc costs and everything else, one laptop/thin client for home use, a mobile and broadband, that’s it.
