    " The importance of Effective Virtual Working & Communication: The last ten years have seen a rapid rise in the adoption of virtual and remote working among organisations of all types and sizes. In addition to increased productivity and reduced business costs, organisations also benefit from a more motivated workforce seeking a better work/life balance. With technological advances such as access to broadband, VoIP and changes in organisational culture facilitating this move, seemless remote working and communication with colleagues, suppliers and clients across the globe has never been easier."

  • Education in the general sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another. Education can also be defined as the process of becoming an educated person

  • U.S. (where minimum wage is $7.25 an hour).
  • Salaries are rising 10% a year in India, so labor isn’t as cheap as it used to be.“Near-sourcing” saves these firms the travel expenses of flying workers from India to the U.S. to meet their clients.They gain efficiency by preventing mistakes that occur due to unfamiliarity with American culture.The companies can access new markets, such as healthcare companies, government agencies, utility companies and defense contractors that don’t want sensitive data leaving the U.S.Having bases around the world means they can do work around the clock.
  • This new trend is a positive sign in that it shows that American workers still have skills that Indian workers can’t match—and that Indian companies are willing to pay extra for it. The firms are supplying good jobs now, and plan to expand their U.S. outposts, creating even more opportunities in the future

The law, enacted this year, barred Missouri teachers from using Web sites that allow "exclusive access" with students or former pupils who are 18 or younger.
