British workers are increasingly keen to get out of the office and make the most of what little sunshine the UK provides over the summer.<\/p>\n

And with modern office furniture<\/a> and electrical gadgets, such as a wireless computer mouse<\/a> and laptop with Wi-Fi, this is becoming an increasingly realistic proposition.<\/p>\n

Recent research by Future Laboratory has found that 73 per cent of people considered the ability to work flexibly to be a deciding factor when choosing a new job, while 91 per cent admitted they were keen to get out of the traditional office environment.<\/p>\n

Poorly designed offices, with outdated office equipment<\/a> and poor furniture, can cause workers’ morale to drop, while modern advances in printers<\/a> and computer technology means employees are often quite able to take their office with them wherever they go – even to the beach.<\/p>\n

"Mobile workers have more variety in their work and greater flexibility," Tom Stewart, a psychologist and expert on people and technology told Reuters. "They are happy and motivated, making them more productive and efficient."<\/p>\n

One company trying to encourage the use of outdoor office is Microsoft Windows Mobile, whose new campaign has seen it build a "tree-office" in Pimlico Gardens in London.<\/p>\n

"We’re trying to illustrate the fact that there are more creative ways for people to work these days. A tree house is one, slightly wacky example," James McCarthy of Microsoft Windows Mobile said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
