They would like to explore the possibility of working from home on a full- or part-time basis.

Sabre has been trading for many years, and with many years of experience in the telecoms field prior to setting up the business in 1992.

Of course, telecommunications is evolving, as this site has hopefully illustrated. At Sabre, we pride ourselves on evolving along with it, but we are here to explain it in layman’s terms – simplifying communication.

We can discuss with you a number of ways of improving the way you communicate..

..with the rest of your team
..with your customers
..with your suppliers
..with your business partners

Think about it, would improving just one of these things have a positive impact on your business? What impact would it have if we could help you to achieve improvements in more than one; or all of them?

In a recent survey, bosses and employees were asked their views on what potential job candidates look for in a company. The results have revealed a considerable gap between what employers think makes their companies attractive places to work and what motivates employees in their job search.

According to a survey of more than 150 employers, almost two-thirds (65%) thought that company reputation was the most attractive attribute for potential employees. This was followed by the quality of the workplace culture/environment (54%) and staff development initiatives such as training and promotion (52%).

However, a YouGov survey of employees commissioned by Croner (www.croner.co.uk ) will shatter employers’ views, suggesting that many employers may be out-of-step when it comes to formulating recruitment strategies aimed at attracting the most talented people.

Only 22% of employees surveyed felt that reputation was important, placing it sixth on their wish list of things that gave a prospective employer that X Factor.

As seen in

The top two attractions job candidates looked for were holiday entitlement (43%) and location of work (47%). More than a third (39%) listed equally flexible working and bonuses as important drivers in their search for the perfect employer.

38% of those surveyed said that they would be attracted to apply for a job by the quality of a company’s workplace culture and environment, while just over a quarter (28%) listed staff development opportunities as a factor as part of their job search.

Gillian Dowling, technical consultant at Croner, believes many employers will be surprised at the surveys’ results and will have to re-think long-held views.

“Today’s employees aren’t solely motivated by money and are looking for other perks and conditions to help them balance their work and home life. Although little can be done about location, home working can be a powerful benefit to employees, as can offering other flexible solutions such as later start times or job sharing.

“Employers may be missing out on top talent by failing to accommodate flexible working needs. Evidence suggests that offering such benefits can lead to commercial gains due to improved employee relations, staff morale and retention.
