Remote Working: Cost and Effectiveness

The traditional commute to work may soon be a thing of the past and be replaced in whole or part by remote working from home.

The availability of high speed computer links and easily obtained technology make it possible for many jobs to be professionally and more effectively done from home – or elsewhere - with significant reductions in costs and time.

There are many benefits of embracing remote working for employers and employees:

For the employer:

  • Reduced costs. Do you need all that heated office space and furniture?
  • Employees who can start work earlier and fresher, happier and more flexible
  • Employees empowered to manage their own work-life balance
  • Less travelling on business time
  • Less stress & sickness related absence
  • More productivity
  • Opportunities to access a larger human resource pool by recruiting those with restricted mobility and/or variable availability

For the employee:

  • A better work/life balance
  • Considerable savings on commuting costs and time
  • Self time and task management
  • Empowerment to work in your style to meet agreed objectives

For all:

  • Less fuel usage
  • Less damage to the environment
  • Less congestion
