Telecommuting...Pooped Out Or Pepped Up?

It?s difficult today to walk through a residence listed on the real estate market which does not boast a space designated for a home office or work area. In fact, now in 2007, just over 80 of America?s workforce began a trend where by, all or some of their work week was done from the comfort of home, not the office downtown. With increasing accessibility to internet services, and expanding telecommunications systems, the office now is considered portable. Today, in 2007, 19.

With a few years of telecommuting now under our belts, corporate American executives still are not totally sold on the concept with 69 of corporate executives struggle with believing in telecommuting.

In 2006, the organization, Manpower, conducted a ? Flexible Working Survey?. Through this survey it was discovered 77 of those same employees stated that simply having the choice was ideal. 80 claimed it would improve relationships with spouses and life partners. 70 said telecommuting would make them more loyal to their employer. 80 of employees, due to the increasing cost of auto fuel, were thinking of quitting their jobs to find work closer to home.

Imagine if you were an employer with 100 employees working in a traditional office setting. If the cost of training in a new employee was $ 9000.00, then having to replace 31 of those employees who quit due to fuel costs, would cost you $279,000.00. Of your 100 employees, if each in office employee represented a sales volume of $ 120,000.00 per year, by allowing 25, then your business? increase in sales volume per telecommuting employee would equal $42,000.00 for an increase in corporate sales by $1,050,000.00. If you save $6000.00 per telecommuting employee in office rental space, then 25 employees multiplied by 6000 equals a savings in office rental space of $150,000.00. In this scenario, each telecommuting employee represents to the company bottom line, an increase of $48,000.00 per year.

Lets look at our scenario from another approach. If each telecommuting employee represents a revenue increase of $48,000.00 per year, and those employees are being paid on average $50,000. 00 per year, factor in the average telecommuting employee saving $2500.00 per year in direct commuting costs, by telecommuting, a company ends up with employees who theoretically pay for themselves, by working from home. Yet still, 69 of corporate American executives struggle in their belief of the benefits of telecommuting.

Telecommuting?is it pooped out, or pepped up? The answer depends on corporate America?s ability to lead.
