MATiSSE Cost Savings CALculator

On-Line Smarter Working Cost Savings CALculator
A new feature of the MATiSSE Smarter Working Initiative Toolkit is the highly innovative, yet simple to use, Smarter Working cost savings CALculator.
The uncertainty of supply and once again, rising cost of oil, petrol and diesel regularly makes headline news, as too does the slow-down in the economy, or so called stagflation. Simply put, most organisations (and especially lower paid staff members) are finding it tougher and tougher to make ends meet. For businesses, the challenge is all about maintaining margins, retaining (or attracting) staff and remaining competitive in particularly difficult and uncertain trading conditions.
The MATiSSE Smarter Working Cost Savings CALculator is significant in two ways. Firstly, the CALculator is, to the best of our knowledge, unique. Secondly, it offers users an astoundingly simple and quick way of seeing just how much can be saved off the bottom line by adopting one or more Smarter Working practices.
Developed in collaboration with Computer Assets Limited (CAL) - one of the MATiSSE Knowledge Exchange Partner organisations - the CALculator is founded upon recognised industry accepted 'total' costs for such as employee average earnings,  business travel, recruitment and workstation space. The CALculator has been designed with simplicity in mind - there are just three steps - and enables users to substitute their own costs in order to produce a tailored report that you can opt to send to your own email account to discuss with colleagues.
