Whether you are working from home with your own small business or your home is a remote office within a large organization, there are a number of tools that can help you work more efficiently, productively and effectively. One such tool is a conference call service, which will allow you to keep in touch with colleague, employees or clients and arrange meetings that can be held over the phone.

So the Ash cloud has once again this week closed airports in Ireland and Scotland; another big inconvenience for thousands of people I am sure. Certainly the effects of the Eyjafjallajökull erruption this month will be remembered for a long time, not just by the airlines but by all businesses throughout Europe that rely on air travel to visit their remote offices, customers and suppliers. While I beleive that lots of travel, particularly by air, made by businesses is not always necessary, and that the same can be acheived in a much less time consuming, cheaper and environmentally friendly way; it is impossible to deny the importance of air travel to the day to day operation of most medium to large businesses. In fact I myself was on a 4 day business trip to Istanbul when my flight home was cancelled. With no sign of the ban lifting and important business to attend to I was initially desperate to get back home. Now don't get me wrong under normal circumstances I would have loved the opportunity for an extended stay in the beautiful city of Istanbul, but when somebody tells you that you cant go home, that is the first thing you want to do! |
