\u00a0Working from home has always been a good traditional alternative to the office, allowing you to make a physical break from the \u2018day to day\u2019 environment and focus on different issues.\u00a0 However, working from home for a lot of people now means a long series of conference calls focusing on tactical issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
