But then I wonder what the Cabinet Office's recent ban on taking laptops out of the office will do for the morale of those staff working from home: because one person made a mistake recently (I'm refering to the Royal Navy recruitment officer who left his laptop containing sensitive information in the car and it got stolen) - everyone has to suffer. I recently wrote a blog on this - http://www.personneltoday.com/blogs/human-resources-news/2008/01/laptop-security-employees-banned-from-removing-their-own-laptops.html - and would be grateful for your thoughts and comments, given that you are a mobile worker.
