Entrepreneurs of new and established businesses are recognising that technology is now available to allow them and their staff to work productively and efficiently outside of traditional working patterns. With more people demanding a better work-life balance, flexible or remote working seems to be the answer to this hot issue.
Working remotely, using a mobile device or data card, enables staff to make the most of deadtime – the time spent, and often wasted, through travel, waiting for meetings, or having limited access to the internet. Employees can maximise their time and increase responsiveness to clients, suppliers and colleagues through a flexible working strategy put in place at work. All this can go some way in achieving a more efficiently run organisation. But how do you introduce a policy of mobile working into your company culture?
Flexible working is only effective though, if staff are provided with clear procedures and strategy and have the right tools in place to work efficiently.
