A transport minister in the new coalition government has urged UK employers to adopt more flexible working practices and allow staff to work from home at least once every two weeks.

Norman Baker, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Transport, believes an increase in home working will reduce transport congestion and pollution, eliminate rush hours and help the government create a low-carbon economy.

The Minister also believes that allowing staff to spend one day in every ten working from home will reduce stress levels and help employees achieve a better work-life balance.
