Travelling To Work

Most people in the UK (75%) live within 30 minutes travelling distance of their workplace. Only 5% take more than an hour. In London it is very different. The majority of people (56%) who work in London have to travel for more than 30 minutes with 16% travelling for over an hour.

The data, which dates from 2009, also shows that most people (71%) drove to work. Other forms of transport used to get to work included walking (10%), the bus (7%), train (5%) and cycling (3%). Again London is very different with about 35% driving to work and about half of workers use public transport (train 20%, Underground 18%, bus 12%) compared with 9% outside the capital.

About 59% of workers live and work in the same local authority district, 41% work in a different local authority district to the one they live in.

Management Services

Management services are responsible for gathering and analysing information and data about problems and opportunities. The provision of management services involves using a range of methodologies and techniques and requires an appropriate attitude to problems, opportunities and potential for change. Recommendations are suggested for action. Management should be aware of the effects that the implementation of recommendations might entail.

The main application areas are Control, Business Transformation, HRM, Quality Management, Operations Management, Information Management, Quantitative Work and Method Study.

Management services are concerned with people at all levels of business. Customer relationships should therefore be based on mutual respect.
