Mobile working with Connexions

Abstract

This paper presents a definition of mobile working. The paper looks at mobile and remote working and then the benefits are of these forms of working. It also outlines the limitations of mobile and remote working. The paper goes on to detail the type of mobile working used by Connexions (an organisation that formerly titled the Tyne and Wear Careers Service) what hardware and software are used by the company and how it is used. The paper concludes by identifying what the future holds for Connexions with this form of working. It argues that the staff expectations are not fully met by the technology now available.
