Mr Marriani Teleworking

  • Teleworking At BT:
  • working from home is good productivity
  • The telco claims that it saves £35m a year in accommodation
  • Its teleworkers are four times less likely to take sick days
  • Almost three-quarters described their work/life balance as 'good' or 'very good'.
  • One in 10 respondents indicated that they would not be able to do their current job unless they were able to telework. This means that the person is able to work from home because they have children.

Advantage:

  • saves health
  • saves time
  • anyone can do it
  • Saves traveling
  • Saves recruiment charges
  • More motivated
  • Don't have to wait to get ready

Disadvantages

  • If the system crashes it would become hard
  • there not all in the same place
  • hard to explain

Information on Ambulance case study:

  • They use the new digital system
  • satiellite tracking
  • Satnav
  • geographical information.
  • Call in's

The new technology is good for the ambulance team because they can help in many ways, in getting there, getting to the patient etc.

Southend ambulance service is a prim of new technology. They have currently have new technology for finding and bringing people into the hospitals. Southend has a new piece of technology such a new touch screen machine that can load a persons meidcal history. this has be reported as helpful and has saved many lifes at the moment and will continue to do so. They also use satiliite tracking to find other ambulances and also if some are in trouble.

All the information mentioned above are used in the Southend NHS ambulance service. For example all the ambulance have a digital tracking to know where exactly they are at one that particular call out.  This helps in emergency is they are in trouble and are unable to explain where they are. They also have digital SATNAV to explain the quickest route and so that they don't get lost and loss incident patients.
