9 Ways Your Company Can Save Money With Telecommuting

Whether you are an employer looking to save money and become more environmentally responsible or an employee who would rather skip the commute and work out of their house, there are many reasons to turn employees into telecommuters.

Here are 9 ways your company can save money with telecommuting:

1. Reduce the Rent - Fewer employees in the office means less office space needed. Down size the office and save on rent.

2. Lower Utility Bills - Less employees in the office and smaller digs translates to lower utility bills.

3. Purchase Less Furniture - With employees supplying their own office furniture at home, the company does not need to supply desks for them in the office. If you already own desks and chairs that will no longer be needed, sell or donate them.

4. Lower Insurance Premiums - Smaller office space and less furniture should lower your insurance premiums.

5. Fewer Sick Days - Someone that is feeling sick but still able to drag themselves out of bed can work even if they need to visit the bathroom 12 times during the day. What's more, sick employees will not be spreading their germs to everyone else.

6. Flexible Work Hours/Working Part Time - When employees do not have to drive 30 minutes to and from work, they are generally more willing to work part time hours. Do not pay for a full 40 hour week if the job can be done with less.

7. Save on Office Supplies - With more employees working at home and less in the office, office supplies will not be so rapidly consumed.

8. All Employees Are More Productive - Let's accept that when you have several employees working near each other, they find ways to distract each other from their job. Some isolation can lead to better focus and more productivity.

9. Less Overhead - Your overhead will be dramatically less when you start saving money on rent, utility bills, furniture, insurance, sick days and paid hours. With less overhead, it will be easier to generate a profit.
