Working from home reduces stress in office workers, but leads to fears about career progression, according to research.
A survey of 749 staff in managerial or professional positions conducted by Durham Business School showed that homeworkers worried about missing-out on 'water-cooler networking' - where potential opportunities for moving up the ladder are discussed informally in the office.
Despite these concerns, the study also found that working from home generally had a positive effect on an employee's work-life balance, giving them more time with the family and leading to less stress and less chance of burnout.
