Perhaps a little melodramatic but now that the clocks have gone back and suddenly it’s dark when most of your employees leave work. Employers are being urged to think about giving opportunities to help their staff escape the misery of the dark (often damp) journey home. The National Commute Smart Week run by Work Wise UK, wants companies to offer flexible hours and homeworking to staff (I know I’d jump at the chance!!). The other side effect is that traffic congestion and public transport services will benefit from reduced usuage during the daily commute.
If there is one area where this can be improved its in the part time job sector.
