BBC staff reluctant to move to Salford?
Both How-Do and The Guardian ran stories last week about the reluctance of BBC staff to sign up to a Salford relocation scheme.
Apparently only two members of staff have so far applied for the scheme which offers help in buying homes amongst other services, and could be worth up to £8,000 each.
The BBC’s chief operating officer Caroline Thomson was at Manchester Business School last week, and admitted that "Staff in London fall into two groups - some are still anxious about the move, while others are embracing it."
How-Do reports that assumptions about reluctant movers has prompted BBC executives into looking for replacement staff from North-West talent, but the BBC has said that Journalists haven't yet been asked to decide on moving.
So is it fair to label BBC staff as unenthusiastic, or is it simply too early to tell?
