Can some one tell me how many staff CCBC employ .The new offices in Colwyn Bay appears huge surely we don't employ that many people to fill that building .
750 administrative staff share about 450 "hot desks" . A great many of the staff have a roaming remit and their old traditional desk was empty for most of the day, they are already using the this system at their old bases
I often attend meetings with council staff and their "office" moves with them. At any CCBC premises, such as a leisure centre, they log into server using the corporate WiFi from their laptops and then plug their telephone handset into a USB port. To all intents and purposes they are at their own desk, all their software, reports and email are available and their public 01492 phone number works just as any fixed line.
No longer do they have to promise to look something up back at the office, or send me an email later, everything is to hand, everywhere.
It is almost magic, but in reality it is just 21st century management.
