Launching into the New Year

January brings lots of hope.

2009 was launched with a cold start for most of the country and a warm toasty feeling at Remote Employment as we looked back over the past year.

It is almost one year since we launched and so much has happened to us since then. It was a great time to learn so much about our business and we know now that we are even more determined than ever to build our idea of remote working.

We achieved loads of news coverage and won two awards in November! Jamie Quinn of Global Action Plan will start our audit towards achieving a BS8555 National Certificate to lower our carbon footprint. Of course, remote working and home working goes a long way to achieving this. We are looking forward to working with Jamie and Global Action Plan to educate ourselves and our web viewers on ways to work in harmony with the environment.

We started the year with a good pipeline and with the prospect on more people on board to help grow revenue, we will lift our heads above the hype of doom and gloom of the unemployment frenzy. Strangely enough, now is a good time for us as many employers are seeing the value in outsourcing and offering flexible work options to suit their budgets, which gives employees a quality work life.

We now need to highlight the benefits of remote and home working to businesses and show how they can still employ people during the economic situation just by changing to new ways of working. We have some very exciting plans in action to highlight how remote working can benefit the environment, employees and business growth so watch this space!
