Telecommuting Employees May Save You Time, Money
In light of the slowing economy, telecommuting employees may be able to save your business both money and time, while making ecological sense.
It is not uncommon for metropolitan office workers to spend ten hours a week commuting. In an era of increased "green" awareness and decreased spending, telecommuting (where possible) makes good business and ecological sense.
Some employees are better candidates for telecommuting than others. For example, an employee who is most productive and energized when surrounded by clients or colleagues would probably not be happy or helpful as a full time telecommuter. On the other hand, an independent self-starter who produces timely work, has good writing skills, and is computer literate may be a good candidate for telecommuting.
Many businesses who use telecommuters find teamwork and employee loyalty benefits from periodic on-site meetings or work days. If on-site days are staggered, the work space can be shared by several employees.
Advanced planning and written policies are imperative in the effectiveness of telecommuters. Policies need to cover such areas as company security, computer technology, appropriate positions, performance measurements, and reward systems for telecommuting to succeed.
Companies may find telecommuting to be a good temporary solution for events such as moving a business, remodeling of facilities, growth spurts, or physical destruction of the work site.
