It’s funny – sat here at home with snow falling and having pretty well full office functionality (apart from the good company and blistering wit of course) and all I can see and hear is people griping about the weather and the road system that happens to have ground to a halt.
According to some it’s all the government’s fault. How dare we not have the infrastructure in place to make sure everything runs normally. We’re supposed to be a first world economy and so many other countries get far worse weather and yet still carry on. Well – perhaps that’s the point – would the same people welcome increased taxes to pay for a lot of extra gritting hardware that gets used once or twice a year?
Surely the answer is better use of technology to enable those that work in office environments to work remotely when the need arises – and, of course, a quality email platform is key!
Now – I wonder where I can find one of those?
