Anywhere working could save firms money and increase productivity – Microsoft
RESEARCH from Microsoft suggests that a flexible ‘anywhere working’ approach could benefit businesses by £4.5bn in productivity terms and reduce money lost through absenteeism by £3.2bn a year.
The firm’s small and medium-sized business marketing manager Daniel Langdon said companies are latching on to the benefits of a flexible approach.
He said employees clogging up roads trying to get to and from offices during peak congestion hours costs UK plc £8bn a year.
“Ten years ago anywhere working seemed to be something only big businesses were interested in doing. Today, it’s another tool in a company’s armoury to be as flexible and cost effective as possible,” he said.
