National campaigns
Research into communications behaviour in the British workplace
and employment patterns.
Home working
Enabling employees to work from home is a growing practice in
the UK today as working patterns become ever more flexible.
Technology has begun to change established office-based working
patterns. Whereas little more than a decade ago many employers and
their personnel would have thought it impractical for people to be
based at home or other nonoffice locations either permanently or
occasionally, in 2007 it is a common issue on board meeting
agendas.
'Digital etiquette' is a study into how office workers in the UK
are using the multiple communication channels now available to
them. Commissioned by ntl:Telewest Business, the research looks at
how etiquette governs our behaviour and communication over
such technologies as email, SMS and instant messaging in the
workplace.
'North/south collide' is an extensive study into changing
patterns in the British workforce. Commissioned by ntl:Telewest
Business, the study was carried out by the Centre for Business
Research at Manchester Business School, and aimed to discover the
trends, and their causes, affecting career decisions in
Britain.
