There's no need to get your feet under the desk at Peaks & Plains Housing Trust. The Cheshire-based association is saving cash on office furniture and providing everyone who works remotely with an iPad instead, creating its own app to help them to do so. Its application gives direct access to customer information and forms on the internal systems and has a sat nav to direct people to the right house. Now staffers can work more easily from home, helping the trust's 240 employees balance all sides of life (80%) and avoid jobs interfering overly with family responsibilities (79%).
