Flexible work practices encouraged

Last month saw Businesses being encouraged to adopt flexible working practices for their staff thanks to Work Wise Week. The campaign was designed to illustrate the benefits of flexible working and the positive impact it can have on staff, businesses and the environment. According to Claire Darley, chief marketing officer for Adecco such schemes can help to:

- Create a more motivated workforce
- Reduce staff turnover as staff are less likely to leave if they have a healthy work-life balance
- Reduce the amount of money spent on sick pay, as staff working flexibly are less stressed, run down and demotivated at work
- Make cost savings in terms of office space and operations, as fewer staff will be in the office at a time
- Reduced road traffic pollution and congestion
- Ensure a greater allowance for people who may have otherwise found work difficult such as single parents and those with difficulties

Employee Monitoring: Emails, Social Networking

We do talk about this subject a fair amount but in light of the recent news that Crystal Palace footballer Ashley-Paul Robinson posted the fact that he was going for a trial at rival London club Fulham on his Facebook profile, it was worth looking at again.

What an idiot - Robinson’s profile can be viewed by all 2.7 million members of the London group on the Facebook, including fans of both clubs. In response to the furore surrounding his posting he then issued a status update that read “Ashley-Paul has been very naughty lol”! It seems as if he has created a situation where Crystal Palace don’t want him back and Fulham’s interest has yet to be confirmed.

I read a really interesting article on Employee Monitoring, have a lookand let me know what you think - from an employee and employer perspective.
