38、ithyoung childrenthat motivated accountancy firm Wright Vigar to begin promotingteleworkingrecently.Thecompany,whichneeded to upgradeits IT infrastructure(基础设施)to provideconnectivity with a new,second office,decidedtointroduce support for remote working at the same time.JMarketing director Jack OHer
39、n explains that the company has a relatively young workforce,many ofwhom are parents:“One of the triggers was when one of our tax managers returned from maternity leave.She wasintending to work part time,but could manage one day a week in the office due to childcare.By offering her theability to wor
40、k from home,we have doubled her capacitynow she works a day a week from home,and a day inthe office.This is great for her,and for us as we retain someone highly qualified.”KFor Wright Vigar,which has now equipped all of its fee-earners to be able to work at maximumproductivity when away from the off
41、ices(whether thats from home,or while on the road),this strategy is not justabout saving on commute time or cutting them loose from the office,but enabling them to work more flexiblehours that fit around their home life.LOHern says:“Although most of our work is client-based and must fit around this,
42、we cant see any reasonwhy a parent cant be on hand to deal with something important at home,if they have the ability to complete aproject later in the day.”MSupporting this new way of working came with a price,though.Although the firm was updating itssystems anyway,the company spent 10%-15%more per
43、user to equip them with a laptop rather than a PC,andabout the same to upgrade to a server that would enable remote staff to connect to the company networks andaccess all their usual resources.NAlthough Wright Vigar hasnt yet quantified the business benefits,it claims that,in addition to being ablet
44、o retain key staff with young families,it is able to save fee-earners a substantial amount of“dead”time in theirworking days.That staff can do this without needing a fixed telephone line provides even more efficiency savings.“With Wi-Fi(fast,wireless internet connections)popping up all over the plac
45、e,even on trains,our fee-earners canbe productive as they travel,and between meetings,instead of having to kill time at the shops,”he adds.Thecompany will also be able to avoid the expense of having to relocate staff to temporary offices for several weekswhen it begins disruptive office renovations

48、I soon realized that,asmost of our business is done on the phone,email and at off-site meetings,we didnt need our offices at all.Werenow saving16,000 a year on rent,plus the cost of utilities,not to mention what would have been spent oncommuting.”36.Internet-based telecoms facilities remote working
