British telco O2 has found that 88% of its staff were just as productive working from home as from the office, with one-third reporting they were more productive working from home than from the office.

According to ComputerWorld UK, 3,000 staff at the company’s headquarters in Slough participated in a one-day trial programme of a work at home programme.

The trial was designed as a large scale test of the company’s Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and enterprise collaboration software ahead of the London Olympics.

The trial follows in the footsteps of Australian telco iiNet, which currently has around 15-20% of its Australian staff working from home.
