IOSH backs smarter working campaign
The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health is latest supporter of Work Wise UK, the major five-year initiative that aims to bring about a fundamental change in working practices.
It is supported by a number of leading organisations including the CBI, TUC, British Chambers of Commerce, BT and Transport for London.
The objective is for half the working population, some 14 million workers, to have had the opportunity to work smarter by 2011.
In 2006, Work Wise Week, including National Work from Home Day, was a huge success, prompting over 85 television and radio interviews, and upwards of 500 articles and news stories.
This year media interest is expected to be even stronger.
Work Wise Week 2007 will start with a summit at the QEII Conference Centre in London where Ministers and business leaders will review the progress of the first year of the campaign.
The following days of the week will include separate focuses upon the impacts of smarter working on the environment, on transport, on staff welfare, and on the employer through higher productivity.
There will also be several regional events around the country following the same themes.
