How to set up a conference call between Abu Dhabi and UK

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – an Arabian peninsula upon which Dubai also sits – and is the second largest Arab economy after Saudi Arabia and 30th largest globally with the 18th highest GDP per capita (USD 44,200) rate.

Although in the middle of a very oil-rich part of the world, the UAE has diversified its economy away from oil, with almost three-quarters of its GDP now coming from non-oil sectors.

The UAE is the UK’s 12 largest global export market, and its largest civil export market in the Middle East, and there are over 5,000 British companies operating out the, including big names such as BAE Systems, BP, HSBC, Rolls Royce, and Shell, while 779 commercial agencies and 4,762 British brands have invested in the UAE.

The majority of the UAE population is made up of expatriates, with around 120,000 UK residents.

So if you’re in a position to join them and do business in Abu Dhabi, you’ll need a cost-effective, easy to use and reliable international conference call provider – look no further than ConferenceCall.co.uk.

Why you need to offer work from home benefits to attract the best talent

The jobs market isn’t as competitive as it once was – 2015 saw a noticeable rise in the number of graduates turning down or reneging on job offers that they had previously accepted.

Figures from HighFliers.co.uk, an independent market research company which specialises in student and graduate recruitment research, revealed that this meant over 1,000 graduate positions were left unfilled last year, reducing the graduate intake at almost a third of the UK’s leading employers.

And if prospective employees can pick and choose in this manner, it means employers have to up their game – so is it time your business offered work from home benefits to new recruits?

The trouble with a video conference call…

Video conferencing has been thrust into the mainstream with apps like Skype and G+ Hangouts – no need for expensive VC equipment, just a smartphone and an internet connection does the trick these days.

The trouble is, it’s never quite that simple – internet connections vary, buffering or lagging can interrupt things, and video calling is a sure fire way to hammer your smartphone’s battery.

That’s why a simple, easy-to-use, and cost-effective conference call is the best bet.

Commuting is a complete waste of time. Remote working is the way to go.

In a world where most office workers can do the day-to-day from the comfort of their own home, it makes no sense for them to waste hours of their valuable time travelling to work – at least not every day anyway.
