Public Sector Workplace Symposium 2010

By 2020 the UK Government will be reaping the benefits from The Office of Government Commerce’s (OGC) high performing property programme (HPPP). A key aspect of which is the adopting of emerging technologies to make distributed working a reality. Therefore, incorporating work environment social networks will enable employees to step away from a desk bound environment to one which becomes a critical business enabler.
