What is meant by "Flexible
Location" ?
|
|
Described as location
independent working, teleworking, telecommuting, home
working, anywhere/anytime working, remote working and many more
- what it is all about is working in the most suitable
location for the task in hand.
Historically, some work has
always been carried out "off site". But the rise of
the new information and communications technologies has added a
new dimension to the locational options for employment.
Flexible
Location - includes:
- working on the move
- working from home
- working from
telecentres/satellite offices
The drivers for carrying out work
on a more distributed basis include:
- enabling workers to be more
productive
- reducing property costs
- bringing staff and resources
closer to the customer
- reducing unnecessary travel
- streamlining business
processes
