What if there were a way to lower your business costs while simultaneously making your employees, happier, healthier and more productive? There is.
Send them home.
No, we’re not talking about pink slips. We’re talking about the growing trend of working remotely – the work from home revolution. Many of today’s largest and most successful companies are participating, and for good reason. As you can see from the infographic below, establishing a plan for employees to work remotely has benefits beyond the bottom line. From Aetna to Apple, Humana, Dell, IBM, CVS, Microsoft and more, companies have dramatically changed the way they do business by changing where they do business. It’s a model that’s working across a broad range of industries – and translating particularly well in the SMB market.
With telecommuting employees producing almost 50% more work than their in-office counterparts, and companies saving on average $11,000 per employee by implementing telecommuting programs, you might be asking yourself, “Where do I sign?” Or perhaps you’re asking, “What’s the catch?” The good news is, there is no catch, and signing on for a program like this is easier than you might expect. Services like web conferencing and VPN networks make working remotely simple and efficient for both the employee and the employer, and with so many companies successfully executing similar models, there are endless blueprints to follow.
Higher morale, lower absences and a better bottom line. Sound appealing? Then it’s time to think – and work – outside the box by moving your employees out of the cube and into the future. Find out how SMBs can work better at xerox.com/smb.
