Staff wasting 4m hours a day on commute

British workers are said to be wasting 4.6m hours a day commuting, according to research released by Citrix GoToMyPC.

Over 60% of workers want to reduce their commute, with the most popular solutions being though home working (34%) and varying start and finish times (22%).

However, of the 2,000 workers surveyed, 46% revealed that their employer will not allow them to work from home or work flexible hours.

“Bosses who insist that people all go to work at the same time and stick to a set routine are actually weakening their business. That’s because people generally don’t like being told how to run their life; they feel their boss is controlling them and therefore are actually less motivated,” said Graham Jones, Internet Psychologist.
