Publisher's Synopsis
This is a practical introduction to the issues involved in flexible working (teleworking, VRT etc) and how to implement it. Many companies and organizations are beginning to realise that there is a strong business case for changing the way people work. Technology (e-mail, fax, PCs) has made it realistic and possible, the need to retain specialist/scarce skills demands it, and the need to respond fast and flexibly to market changes has made it necessary. The book draws on real-life case studies and examples from the UK and Europe, including large and small, public and private sector organizations.
