M-people: moving on up, moving on out
Employers and workers can reap the benefits of m-working; it can save all participants costs and time, but only if managed correctly
Through its flexibility and efficiency, mobile working (m-working), has been identified as a valuable add-on that a company can offer to current and potential employees. With good management, m-working can prove to be an asset for both participant and organisation.
Reducing costs
The major savings associated with m-working are:
■ Staff time – staff can spend more time working and less time travelling
■ Space – infrastructural costs can be contained or reduced
