eHampshire 3SW Conference - Watch Again

“Great Event”
“Very Good Speakers”
“Hugely Informative”
“Afternoon workshop was excellent”

This sample of comments from the 140 delegates at this year’s eHampshire Conference summed up the reactions to the fast moving plenary and workshop sessions and exhibitor demonstrations that made sure that this year’s event feedback was the best yet.

Using the theme of the ‘Three Screen-World, keynote speaker Houston Spencer (from Global Communications company Alcatel-Lucent) warned that companies failing to innovate and match increased customer expectations with increased service levels and availability (24/7 ‘always on’ business) risked losing-out in the 21st Century ‘any time, any-where, any form modern business environment.

With today’s graduates born in the age of the Internet, the conference speakers and workshop sessions highlighted that it was no longer acceptable for work based ICT solutions to have less functionality and less connectivity than those available to potential customers and employees in the home, via their laptop, PDA or Mobile Phone.

According to research conducted by the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health and supported by the latest Central Government estimates, stress and mental health related problems cost the UK economy in the order of £12.25 billion per annum. In total, it is estimated that the staggering figure of £77.5 billion per annum is lost to health related problems.

These figures together with the impact on families, communities and the Health and Social care system, help emphasise the need for the topic of ‘employee-wellbeing’ to be a key component of the move to Smarter-Working.
