Beat The Credit Crunch through Smarter Working
NEW One-day MATiSSE partner Smarter Working Master-Class
Registration 9.45am
Staff downsizing doesn't have to be the first or only option explored when faced with the challenges of an economic downturn. More and more businesses are finding that implementing more efficient, more flexible and sustainable working, travel and commuting practices can achieve the bottom-line savings needed to survive the recession. Not only are costs reduced, your most valuable assets, your people are retained - even if this means reduced hours for a period of time - ready to help your busy ready itself for the eventual recovery.
The full day Master Class is designed to build upon the FREE half day introductory sessions that continue to run quarterly across the County during 2009 (NB The next Level One Introductory Event will be held AM 3rd June at the Nokia Campus in Farnborough). The Master Class will explore the four key areas essential to successful smarter working implementation where tangible double-digit percentage savings can be made. Each master class module is deliberately action learning oriented and through use of the MATiSSE Smarter Working Toolkit as a workbook, will enable delegates to implement the learning and smarter-working best practice back in their own organisation
