Enigin – Chaos had passed – will it be back?

Well the ash has stopped causing chaos here in the UK for us at Enigin. But there is still talk of it. Still the possibility out there that it will occur again and once again everything will come to a standstill.

Not only that but things are coming to a stand still anyway. After the Volcanic Ash chaos we now face problems with Airlines due to cabin crew walkouts. The news said the other day that some airlines have lost millions in the last few months, due to people not flying. No mention of the problems with their staff.

And then in another item it talked about all the perks cabin crew staff receive, such as free flights, huge discounts for friends and family, large discounts in the duty free shopping. But that just isn’t enough.

Then another article recently asked the question – what is the dispute actually about? I must admit, I had no idea. And having read this news item it really is quite mad:

Originally the debate began because airlines cut the amount of cabin crew on long haul flights, from 14 to 15 and also froze pay for 2 years. There are also other new steps in place for new recruits with them receiving less pay etc, however, really if they are new recruits then that is up to them to apply, they will know that in advance.

The news article also stated that these cabin crew staff are receiving wages of around £29,000, nearly double what some other companies offer. So really why are they walking out and striking?

Well it seems to have spiraled out of control a bit. And it appears as though it has become more of a principle issue then anything else. The reason airlines make these changes in the first place is to save money, some having lost around £500 million in the last year. So steps must be put in place to make cuts.

In a similar situation a business perhaps has suffered due to the recession, is losing money but trying all they can to accommodate their staff. The choice for them is to give up completely and let go all staff, leaving no business. All do whatever they can to at least keep those people employed, so they are not stuck with nothing.

It seems such a difficult situation. For both staff and companies or business. Both have their principles and expectations but more and more these are becoming very different and therefore difficult to find a middle ground. I hope for the companies sake and the staffs that they come to some agreements sooner rather then later, or it could possibly all be for nothing as there will be nothing to fight for.

Enigin – Help Us Save The World

When I think about saving energy, I have this picture in my head where trees are growing (at an incredibly fast pace!) and where the world’s resources are replenishing everywhere.

I wish it was that simplistic, but at least saving energy does contribute to achieving this pretty picture! Enigin give people, in the private and public sectors, the opportunity to make a difference by providing all types of businesses with cost-effective solutions that allow them to save money but also a lot of energy. And this in turn helps reduce the business’ carbon emissions and its impact on the world’s natural resources.

Enigin have met a worldwide success and continue to do so, especially at the moment because of the global obsession with climate change and with the Copenhagen conference momentum. It’s a great thing that, at last, the world is fully aware of what the dangers are and how real the consequences of rising temperatures will be on us and our children.

I’ve often wondered in the past few years when the world was finally going to wake up and actually do something constructive to help reduce pollution. To me, it’s been illogical and frightening to think that people could just ‘not care’. How is that possible? The most beautiful thing we have is our planet and destroying surely can’t come as a resounding great idea to anyone, can it? The air smelling smoky and toxic, the water supplies diminishing, and the ozone depleting… These things have always made me feel very sad because I have always witnessed people acting as though nothing was happening, as though pollution was normal… But now, this is slowly changing, behaviors are evolving and policies are being put in place to finally control all this and try to repair the damage that has been done.

Saving energy is one of the most effective ways of being proactive about tackling climate change and reducing the amount of pollution that is pumped into the atmosphere. Enigin know this and the products they offer are therefore highly demanded all over the world because it is in a businessman’s interest to invest in energy efficient technology. Doing your bit for the environment is gratifying in itself, but Enigin allow businesses to combine this with saving money, which is a valuable bonus they can’t turn down.
