What does the future hold for Britain’s workers-in-waiting?

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:56:59 +0000

From from the website: www.webchats.tv To watch the whole show, please visit www.webchats.tv Why do you go to work? Is it for the money, the career development or is it because you love seeing you colleagues and the buzz of the office? According to this year’s edition of the Vodafone Working Nation report, for the young generation that’s set to become tomorrow’s office workers, it’s very much a case of the latter. However, they also worry that new tech and new working practices will force them to miss out on the things they consider important about work and are looking forward to: making friends, learning from colleagues and enjoying their jobs. 85% of 16 20 year olds believe that hierarchy is vital to create order and worry that working from home alone would leave them bored with no interaction with colleagues, the part of work they find most attractive. To discuss the importance of community at work, we are joined by Eugene Burke, business psychologist. As technology enables more flexible working styles, there is increasingly less of a requirement for a physical office but does that mean less personal interaction? In this special webchat, Eugene Burke will be examining the vital ingredients that will constitute ‘the office’ for tomorrow’s workers while discussing too how we can celebrate & nurture community in the office in the current financial climate. So log on to the chat for a reassuring assessment of today’s workplace and a positive glimpse at its future. Eugene …

Take back business control

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:49:44 +0000

From www.webchats.tv. We are nearing the end of the financial year and for many small business owners things are looking up. However for many the past year has seen a significant shift in the working structure, with many bosses having to ‘fight fires’ rather than focus on growth and strategic planning. Although this may have helped steady things during an unsettled trading period, the time spent on non business critical tasks or functions can cost companies money, and more importantly, distract leaders from their initial vision for the business. Now is the time for Britain’s small business bosses to return to the helm focusing on the strategies needed to grow and maintain a competitive edge and keep the wheels of UK Ltd turning. Following Vodafone’s small business report – showing tangible evidence that leaders who spend more time in the driving seat (and less time on office management and administrative tasks) are reaping more rewards during the first shoots of the recovery we are joined by business guru and co- founder of Coffee Republic, Sahar Hashemi, who has top tips on business growth, delegation and intelligent outsourcing. She is joined on our sofa by Rob Shardlow, sales director for small and medium Enterprise for Vodafone. Sahar Hashemi and Rob Shardlow join us live on Wednesday 31st March at 2pm to discuss how to get back to your roots. For more information visit www.vodafone.co.uk
