With the London 2012 Olympic games fast approaching, travel advice for businesses is continually being talked about. Businesses in and around London need to seriously think about their business travel plans during the games.
Three million tourists are expected to travel to London during the games, and if businesses wish to avoid absenteeism as a result of the travel chaos then it is strongly suggested, most recently by Travel Minister Norman Baker, that businesses adopt video conferencing allowing employees to work remotely whilst being able to communicate and collaborate over video. This will enable businesses to avoid the likely increase in travel costs and ensure productivity remains relatively unaffected.
BT, Vancouver Research discovered during the Vancouver Games 2010 twenty eight percent of businesses suffered a higher level of absenteeism.
Video conferencing and telepresence solutions are now readily available to anyone, anywhere, with flexible and affordable payment methods.
Adopting video conferencing is our London 2012 travel advice for businesses.
