In a recent study, it was revealed that 76% of workers would prefer to have a more flexible approach to their working location.

We asked over 1000 employees about whether they would want to work from home and if so, how much time would they settle for. We found....

- 25% are happy working at the office
- 8% would like to work one day per week at home
- 26% would like to work 2 to 3 days per week at home
- 41% would like to work more than 3 days per week at home

Although, there is a decent percentage of employees who are happy to remain working in an office environment, a much larger number of people are not. Why is this? Why are employers not speaking to their employees and respecting their wishes?

In some instances, really it comes down to the industry and job in which these employees are working within. How can an IT support worker who deals with on-site issues throughout a day possibly work from home. On the other hand though, a telesales person could quite happily do their job from home without the need for social interaction with colleagues. Also, being around other people throughout the day is much more sociable and allows for quicker and more comprehensive communication with colleagues.

How does working at home affect an individuals productivity? It is hard to give a blanket response to this question as when we have spoken to people in the past, some are massively self-motivated, able to get their job done without any distraction at home but others find any reason not to knuckle down. Employers are frightened at not being able to monitor daily tasks sometimes as not everyone works as hard when left to their own devices.

What are your thoughts and views on this subject? At the end of the day, should it be based on a case by case basis depending on the individuals personality, work ethic, self-motivation and more? We think so! 

Throughout December we are offering any recruiter access to the TipTopJob CV Database for a one month period for ONLY £100. YES, ONLY £100!!!

Access is restricted to one user but additional users can be added for just £25 each. The access can be for any number of Countries that we cover and any of the 61 Industries too. 

So, if you are recruiting, this will certainly not break the bank account. Give us a call today to take advantage of the offer which is only available until the end of the month.

When you are searching for a new job on TipTopJob, there are several things to bear in mind. Here are 6 Top Tips to help you use the site in the best way to find the perfect role for you. 

1. Register with TipTopJob as a jobseeker first. This will allow you to save jobs to your basket for a later date and easily attach the CV from your account when applying. 

2. Always choose "all" of the relevant industries that the role you are interested in could fall into. If you are looking for a Marketing Manager job for a large Supermarket chain, you must select the "Advertising, Marketing & PR", "Management" and "Retail & Wholesale" industries. You do not want to miss out on any opportunity that may be on the site in an industry you have not looked in!

3. Boolean search is always the best and can result in more accurate results. Take the advice on the Job Search Tips link on the search page on how to use it in the best way. 

4. If you are interested in working in more than 1 Country, start by searching in 1 Country and then move onto the next in a new search. You cannot search for jobs in multiple Countries.

5. If you are not able to find something that you want to apply for, make sure that you register an "Email Alert" which specifies the criteria of the role you want. This will allow the TipTopJob system to send you an email AS SOON AS a new job that is registered matches your criteria. You can then be the first to apply. You can register multiple "Email Alerts" so if you are interested in several types of jobs, register one for each.

6. Make sure that you attach your most up to date CV/Resume and one that is relevant to the job you are applying. You can save multiple CV/Resumes in your account so that you can tailor them accordingly.

We are very pleased to announce our new industry sectors on TipTopJob that now specifically cater for :

- Military (including Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines etc)
- Ex-military (anyone leaving the military and returning back to civvy street)
- Utilities

We have split our Utilities, Oil and Gas (www.theOILandGASjob.com) industry into two as we believe they are each large enough to have their own dedicated site. We therefore now have:
- www.theOILandGASjob.com – just Oil and Gas
- www.theUTILITIESjob.com – just Utilities
 
As a job advertiser, you can now select one of these industries as your primary or secondary industry for your job to appear in. If you think your job could accept an ex-military person, then always include the job in the ex-military industry as an additional industry.
 
As a jobseeker, do not forget to search through the jobs in these NEW sectors !
