Office of the future points to flexible working

Nov. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- According to the results of a recent survey by Office Angels, when asked what they thought working practices would be like in 2036, just over a half of respondents believed that standard working hours would become a thing of the past, and 71% believed that the number of people working from home would be boosted.

David Clubb, managing director of Office Angels commented: “Employers need to consider the benefits of flexible working, such as reduced fixed costs, increased goodwill amongst existing staff and the widening of the talent pool from which the organisation can attract candidates.

“We are advising forward-thinking companies to recognise that flexible working is the future and that businesses need to define and implement their strategies now in order to retain and attract the very best talent.”

And the recruitment industry is perhaps better placed than most to take advantage of this likely trend.  By embracing a SaaS based solution like evolve™, the need for recruiters to be office based and sat at a desk are a thing of the past.

With all of the candidate and client data held in the cloud and accessed via browser, location independence can be utilised.

With many home based workers claiming greater productivity as a result of fewer distractions the reduction if fixed office costs can give the business a cash shot in the arm at a time when it needs it most.
