When I first read this post, the first words I uttered to myself was FFS, what are they doing now. But having read on, and considered my own fortunate position of working from home, armed with 21 century communication tools, I think this idea has merits. If the ultimate goal is to recruit and retain, then I believe that looking at all alternative working methods/ TOS should be analysed. Actually, its very refreshing to see MoD thinking outside the normal box.
