Keeping your best people
Being flexible for your future
Skilled and experienced staff are highly sought after, so how do you encourage your very best people to say no to head-hunters? Retaining valuable employees is much more cost-effective than finding and training new ones, but giving them the freedom to work where and how they want is the challenge.
Today's Next Generation Networks can place a few neat tricks up your sleeve. Fast communications networks shrink distances and reduce the time and money spent travelling to and from meetings, while keeping employees constantly in touch with the mother ship.
A single IP network handles all your data, video and voice. It means an employee with an IP connection has access to both voice and data applications either through their PC or through a range of advanced phones. Unified communications offers incredible functionality, including instant messaging or document transfers in parallel with voice or video conversation, audio and video conferencing. This isn't just an improvement to communications, it's a whole new way of working.
Here are some technologies available from us that your top employees will love:
- Unified communications: Integrating voice and video, collaborative working and conferencing, as well as messaging and mobility applications, all of which can help you reach people that much quicker.
- Remote working: Employees often prefer working from home and other locations via secure internet connections, or from other offices on the internal network. They find themselves in far greater control of their time and can improve both their productivity and work-life balance.
Here are some more practical technologies that could help you retain your best people:
- IP Multimedia: Ideal for remote and flexible working, allowing employees to take their personal phone number with them wherever they go, as well as offering a way of simultaneously managing voice, video and data communications.
- Remote Access: A Managed VPN (Virtual Private Network) from Virgin Media Business combines simple yet secure remote access solutions with established links over our core Next Generation Network. We offer the choice of IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) VPNs
- LAN Solutions: Properly designed and implemented, a Local Area Network forms the bedrock of today’s advanced communications and our LAN Solutions offer support for security, wireless networking and unified communications.
