Citrix supports Work Wise UK initiative to highlight the benefits of remote working

-

Citrix is supporting The Work Wise UK initiative, which brings together the public and private sectors, professional bodies and trade unions, to support the increased use of smarter working practices for businesses and their employees.
As part of the week-long initiative, a national Work From Home day will take place on Friday 18th May, to highlight the benefits of working away from the office.

Andrew Millard, senior director marketing, EMEA, Citrix Online Service Division, says: “The Work From Home day is an important initiative that can also provide businesses with a valuable opportunity to trial their remote working strategy, ahead of the London 2012 Olympics.

“This is a time when many organisations need to turn to technology solutions to ensure the remote workforce can operate ‘business as usual’, for the duration of The Games. To help support businesses through the expected disruption from the Olympics we are offering a free 90-day trial of our online meeting software GoToMeeting and GoToMyPC. This provides businesses with the opportunity to take Work From Home Day as a practice run ahead of The Games.”
