Many love the idea of working from home. This has led some businesses to allow employees to work from home, either some of the time or permanently.
Security
If people have to use the company computer when out of the office security can be an issue, especially if they are using their personal computers to connect to the company network. If data is transferred over a wireless network security problems are even more likely.
