What is Agile Working? Definition: “Agile working is a way of working in which an organisation empowers its people to work where, when and how they choose – with maximum flexibility and minimum constraints – to optimise their performance and to do their best work”

So many people confuse agile working with flexible working – the two are very different! Flexible working is negotiated at individual level, requires permission and is viewed as an employee perk. Agile working however, is business driven where employees can work anywhere at any time providing business needs are met.

Research carried out by Mitie found that by 2020 more than 70 percent of UK offices will be agile workplaces.

The benefits of agile working if implemented correctly can be numerous; with higher employee production, a motivated and driven workforce, lower office costs and not to mention a reduced carbon footprint

The role of technology in enabling agile working is fundamental and that is where HBT Communications can come in and work with organisations to implement this way of working.

HBT communications has just celebrated its 30^th anniversary within the IT and Telecoms sector, the company was founded on the very ethos of bringing new technology to the SME market. In continuing this ethos, HBT have launched their newest service: HBT Nuage, secure cloud-based communications.

Nuage is built on the principles of agile working with features like:

• non-location dependent telephony, which enables the office function to follow staff on any device – mobile, laptop and desk phone

• Cloud based so always upgraded to the latest technology and there are no expensive upgrades.

“We are delighted to bring HBT Nuage to the market, the market is changing, and businesses are looking at how they and their workforces can adapt to this change to work more effectively. Agile working requires a solid technology infrastructure whilst offering flexibility -Nuage does both” says Zamurad Hussain, Managing Director.
