Mayday webinar on alternatives to travel: Tuesday 24 January 2012

Time: 15:00 - 16:00

In November Business in the Community, Microsoft, Nokia, Nuffield, Regus and Vodafone launched ‘Anywhere Working’ consortium backed by the Department for Transport.

The consortium has been formed to help British employers understand the benefits of providing flexible working environments and to enable employees to access the tools that they need to work in a more flexible way. The founding members of the Anywhere Working Consortium have also pledged to educate organisations on the available technologies and resources to support the ability to work away from offices and promote alternatives to travel.

On January 16, the Consortium launched an online hub of resources for organisations, which includes training, trial technology, best practice case studies and special offers on products provided by the consortium members.

This webinar is a part of the campaign and will present the case for Anywhere Working, by demonstrating true benefits achieved by different organisations.

So join us and find out how you can work anywhere!

Keynote speakers:

Cathryn Thraves, The Environment Agency

Lynne Franks, B.Hive
