Many employers worry about the productivity of home workers and feel more comfortable with having a team in one location, where they can see what their staff are doing.  But the evidence suggests that home workers are in fact more productive, not less so.

In this article, we explore the benefits of home working employees, look at how resistance to old-fashioned stereotypes of home workers are fading away and show how many companies are gaining a competitive advantage by introducing more flexibility.

Yes that’s right! We are going to be handing out competition cards at events we are attending over the next three months for you to be in with a chance to win a Macbook Air. We will hand them out at the events, the airports, on the plane, the taxi driver between venues and in the streets of San Francisco New York, Berlin, London and now even in Denver. Look out for the team in the black t-shirts and the slogan ’stop me to win a MacBook Air’ on the back.

Yuuguu is on tour and we are doing it in style, just debating to take the Wii down to FOWA London

“SEO is evil” That’s the topic of the first debate at Barcamp Leeds, hosted by Dominic Hodgson and one of many sessions in this two day event of hot topics and debates initiated by attendees.

Yuuguu is proud to sponsor such an event that helps spread experience and technical knowledge regarding all aspects of Start-up businesses to the curious employee looking to further skills.
