About eWorking
| eWorking
(a.k.a. teleworking or telecommuting, home working, remote working or
flexi-working, mWorking
or e-working) is a phenomenon that has the potential to change the way
we live as well as the way we work. With the availability and common use of technologies such as broadband, email, mobile phones, the internet, Electronic Records management etc. it's now possible for knowledge workers to perform much of their job just as effectively away from the office as they can when in it. The potential benefits and implications of this are huge, not only for individuals but also for employers and for society generally. A major effect is to reduce traffic. This in turn reduces pollution, infrastructure costs, fuel costs and commute times. Not having to commute results in additional time for family, friends and domestic matters, less stress and consequently better health, improved morale and the potential for renewing community ties. Research shows that a happier, healthier and life enabled workforce leads to higher productivity, less absenteeism, better staff retention and lower recruitment and training costs. Removing location from the working equation also creates opportunities to reduce property and administration costs and "Continuity of Operation" risks. It increases the potential skills pool and attracts back into the workforce those unable to travel. The fact that workers can be at their desk in minutes increases operational flexibility and customer service. eWorking will not however suit everyone or every job. Some people may benefit from training and some processes may need to be reviewed and revised. To be introduced effectively eWorking requires a new way of working and for most, a new way of thinking. eWork Solutions provides advice and practical guidance to help Irish enterprises to maximise these benefits. eWorking is an affordable option for even the smallest business and can give real competitive advantage.
