Teleworking and its Benefits

March 24, 2020

Telework means working at any alternative location other than your central worksite. A telework program gives selected employees and managers the option of working off-site on a full-time, part-time, or even temporary basis. Staff may choose to work from home offices, telework centers, or satellite offices. How formal or informal your telework arrangement is depends on your company and employee needs. Some teleworking arrangements require nothing more than a phone line, while others involve a full home office setup. How simple your telework arrangement is depends on your company’s business needs.

Benefits of telework include:

22% increase in employee productivity, Less vehicle miles traveled = fuel savings (here is a cost calculator for your commute https://wallethub.com/telework-calculator/)
