Work from home, or go into the office? For many businesses and workers it's an ongoing conversation at the moment.
But could there be a third way - working 'near' home?
New co-working spaces are providing a place for people to do their job close to where they live, but not at home which can be unsuitable and isolating.
We also look at the WeWork model - the billion-dollar business filed for bankruptcy protection in the US last year - does that mean the concept isn't viable long term?
Produced and presented by Dougal Shaw.
