Telecommuting in Today’s Economic Climate- Why Every Company Should…
I just submitted my presentation to the East Coast’s largest HR-Management Conference put on by CAI in Raleigh North Carolina. My presentation will be focusing on what HR professionals’ roles are when it comes to remote work. It will outline various strategies and management considerations for HR professionals. What I found most interesting is that when I was putting together the information, CAI asked how my presentation would tie into the overall economic climate of today. I explained how Telecommuting meets many of the demands being forced upon HR professionals, and has added benefits that can be realized. For instance…
Remote Work allows employers to do more with less. When you have Telecommuters working from home, they are more productive. With the unfortunate mass layoff’s currently taking place, this can help tremendously as workers are expected to do more with fewer resources.
Remote Work cuts overhead expenses. When companies can cut down on real estate or rent costs, they can save a lot of money. Add in parking, company vehicles, and office space and the savings grow exponentially. Simply put, when employees share the cost of doing business, the costs to the business go down. Many times employees are willing to cover their expenses just to have the freedom to work remotely. On top of that study after study shows that many employees are even willing to take up to a 15% pay DECREASE just to work from home. How much could that save your company?
Remote Work is helping companies be more effective. When you switch from a location based model of management and performance reviews and switch to a results only based system, everyone in a company becomes more productive and results focused. This helps organizations produce more and maintain their competitive advantage.
Today’s economic climate is not the best, but Remote Work can actually help organizations weather this storm while giving additional benefits to employees.
