REMOTE WORKING
“Remote working” or, for the
vast majority of us, “working from home” has now
become a fact of life. On the one hand, staff can clearly
gain from a better work/life balance; while the company has
the opportunity to cut the cost of office overheads and reduce
“dead” travel time.
The “hard” benefits such as savings on reduced
office space and travel time are easy to quantify. The UK
Teleworking Association believes that businesses can reduce
their office space by as much as 50% in some instances –
yielding very considerable “hard cost” savings.
Companies such as Cisco and BT have reduced their property
portfolios by between 20% and 30% through remote working.
When you add to these “hard benefits” the longer
term “soft benefits” like improved productivity,
reduced absenteeism, improved quality of service and reduced
staff churn, the case becomes pretty compelling.
