Unfortunately, it is for the UK, not the US. On May 15th, 2008, the UK had a National Work from Home Day. It was their third year of doing so.

The goal is that by the year of 2011, they will give about 14 million people, about half the working population, the ability to have smarter working practices.

This is not supposed to be a day off to play hooky, if you will, but a day to prove that an employee can be more productive without the stresses of a long commute or just plain workplace.

Here in the US we have the “Take your Daughter to Work Day”. I wonder if the US will ever have a National Work from Home Day? Let’s hope so!
