Recruitment company Ajilon is introducing a home computing scheme this month aiming for an ambitious take-up rate of 20%.

Julie Bowen, head of HR projects at Ajilon, said the recruitment industry has a high staff turnover so the scheme would need to be well managed.

About 1,350 employees with more than a year's service can join. Staff may sacrifice up to £500 per year over three years to finance the PCs, provided under a Computacenter package.
