”It’s crazy these days for people to go to work when work can come to people” says Transport Minister, Norman Baker. In an attempt to ease congestion in the capital city, minister’s argue that its ‘even crazier’ that commuters take to trains and the Tube at the same time every day when other options could be available. Options being considered include new office ‘hubs’ in rural areas which would allow people to hotdesk closer to home. Flexi-working, late or early starts could stagger the rush hour and give commuters an improved work life balance. Providing video conferencing at home could mean that employees don’t have to leave home at all. The Trades Union Congress is backing the consultation. The plan would reduce carbon emissions, but ministers are also warning that there is urgency to fast-track changes to the rush hour because of the Olympics, warning that it would be ‘impossible’ for the capital to accommodate the visitors anticipated for the games as well as going about its business as usual. It’s not just the concerns over the influx of visitors to the city, in the recent winter months, some businesses shut down when it snowed; unprecedented weather conditions caused travel chaos throughout Britain; commuters struggled to get to work resulting in lost productivity. Find out how Video Conferencing could be the best solution to come out from this issue. Not only this, Video Communication will also help to provide solution for various other concerns.
