A few years ago an hour-long commute in crawling traffic or on a crowded bus seemed like an inevitable part of working life.

But today, lots of workplaces are spending millions setting up their workforce to complete their day to day from the comfort of their own homes. The benefits for workers are obvious - but does working from home actually work for business?

Guests:

• Paul Edwards, General Manager of Strategy and Customer at Mirvac
