NATS £45m Cost Savings - Suggestion Box

I'm sure I am not alone in being slightly amazed that we have apparently been operating as a business, and people have been picking up large bonuses, even though the company has been carrying £45m of excess costs for all these years.

I imagine a lot of NATS employees have ideas about exactly where the company can save money but might not willing to post them on the intranet for fear of retribution.

I'll kick the ball off. Travel & Expenses.

I think it should be brought in house - why pay someone £1,000s to make them redundant when they could redeployed to do this work.

And while I am not suggesting there is any abuse going on I think in this day and age all T&E should be visible.

Neither of these ideas alone will save the company the many millions needed to be saved but they would be a giant step forward in reassuring the staff that this cost saving exercise wasn't just an opportunity to target certain groups of employees.
