Workers Can Lose Their Chains !!

Thank you for visiting our web site.

Reality are specialists in Computer and Telephone system support and service, we are well known for increasing the speed computer networks run at so data is moved around the system faster but it seems, little is known of our ability to introduce work-flow into just about any business, not only increasing productivity but also accountability.

If managers can see an employee's work-production by way of simple statistics, email sent and received, letters written, highlights of telephone conversations both in and out of the company, lists of people called or calling etc then the employee's could be working from anywhere, office, home or abroad.

The very name Management alludes to the management of the business, traditionally this consists of an office full of staff commuting in on a daily basis perhaps with engineers visiting to pick up equipment for installation etc.

Successive governments have introduced a myriad of stealth taxes ensuring the cost of having a job and getting to it has gradually risen so we now pay a prohibitive price for the pleasure of traveling to work !.

Reality have worked very hard with a top class data management firm who have produced a Total Company Management software system which fits just about any environment off-the-shelf. TCM is accessed from any computer running XP Pro software this means some staff may be home based part of the week. What about their telephone extension ? that's not a problem either, using a Voice over the Internet telephone system each extension user may may have exactly the same functionality on a phone plugged into their home broadband connected via the Internet back to the office, everyone can still take, make and transfer phone calls just like when in the office. Even mobile staff can make use of this unique package using Internet cafe connections and standard mobile phones or the newer mobile phone / VoIP phone technology means work is where you are. Engineers can log in to report a job has been finished meaning an invoice can be raised the same day the work takes place.

Working from home is good for the environment, it certainly makes staff more productive, one recent study estimated that 28% of our working life in the office is spent on interruptions and recovery time. Another interesting study shows that house burglaries are much reduced in area's home workers live.

And finally ...nothing ever changes we think ourselves to be clever and sophisticated with our brave, new technology driven world but in 1911 Mr F Winslow Taylor wrote a book called 'The Principles of Scientific Management' which revolutionised employers' understanding of how to get the most from industrial workers. We are in effect now applying the same tried and tested principles across the board to everyone using the tools only recently available, enabling us all to do our jobs in a more efficient and planet saving manner.
