I know this won't work for everyone - people working away from internet access for instance - but it works well for me.
I do the same but some companies don't allow VPN from non company equipment so might not be an option for everyone.

I like the multiple hard drives idea as mentioned by another poster. If you have the right laptop it would be the easiest option.

You can also virtualize your company laptop and run it in a vm.
