Working
The average worker in Somerset spends 46 minutes each day travelling to and from work.
If you are an employee, you might be able to change the way you live, work and travel by working 'smarter'.
Flexible working (changing the times of day that you work) and home working (changing the location you work in) can have major benefits in terms of travel.
Ask your employer what they can do to support flexible and home working. There are a number of rewards that your employer might not be aware of - such as better staff morale, increased productivity and the potential to provide better workspaces. The pages below will give you more information on these options.
