Working from home (WFH) is extremely popular with tech professionals, judging by the results of the latest silicon.com poll.
Nearly a third (29 per cent) of respondents said they WFH every day and 26 per cent work away from the office at least a 'few times' each week.
Only 10 per cent of respondents said they never work from home - highlighting the extent to which out-of-office working is impacting the modern workplace.
Of the remaining respondents, 11 per cent WFH once per week and 14 per cent take a break from the office a 'few times' per month.
