In this blog, all that you need to know is about TELECOMMUTING. Telecommuting, or working from home or another place other than the regular office, is becoming more prevalent these days. A study by the Consumer Electronics Association found 37 percent of employed adults in the U.S. work from home at least one day a month, and a large number of them are planning to spend a good chunk of change on technology products to make it easier to telecommute.
Why Telecommuting
The progress of technology has helped in accommodating the teleworks option. Wireless devices, web applications, and collaboration tools, such as online meeting software, make it easier to interact with managers and colleagues when you’re not in the office.
People would rather work from home than in an office because:
- They can focus better on their tasks with fewer disruptions.
- They avoid a long commute, which is more environmentally friendly and saves valuable personal time.
- They save on fuel or transit costs
- It promotes work/life balance.
- Saves on real estate, office supplies, and other overhead costs.
- Increase in productivity and reduce expenses associated with lost time due to disruptions.
- To foster a “GREEN” workplace culture.
