Charity Work is Good Business

Posted on by

How encouraging your staff to do charity work can actually boost business.

At LIS we donate significant time and resources to various charities and provide reduced cost IT support for the charity sector, so we already do our bit. We will soon be formalising this by adding some charity time to our employment contracts too. Did you know that many charities can benefit from free or low cost software and services from large providers? We have helped charities to identify and claim those discounts and formulate a strategy to make best use of the schemes available.  Contact LIS to find out more

As the popularity of remote working continues to spread, workers today can collaborate across cities, countries and even multiple time zones. How does this change office dynamics?

Brexit HR Game changer?

Posted on by

How will Brexit change the game for HR?

I know that we are all bored of Brexit, but it is the gift that keeps on giving. The focus today is on HR.

Brexit is impacting on recruitment, retention, legislative framework, the mergers and acquisitions world, training and management of staff. Not just in terms of uncertainty which has become a given, but with the changes that have occurred already.

LIS can help by supporting mobile working, working from home, automation and telephony solutions which enable creative solutions to the current HR challenge. Call us if you need to chew it over. Oh, and if your current helpdesk can’t greet your users by name when they call and remember if they are on android or apple without having to ask, give us a try. Personal, professional IT support beats anonymous impersonal scripting every time.
