Working From Home — Is It The Future? [Infographic]

Did you know that most people who engage in telecommuting believe their productivity improves whenever they work remotely?

This is what Microsoft found out after conducting a survey involving 3,500 full time employees to learn about the common notion surrounding the “Work from Home” phenomenon. The survey also revealed that majority of the employees would wish to have a better work/life balance that can be best met through telecommuting, only that most companies do not have a formal telecommuting policy.

At Staff.com, we also believe that telecommuting will not only boost employee productivity but also lead to significant cost savings due to less overhead costs. This is also ideal if you are a startup and you want to be as lean as possible. Cut unnecessary expenses like an office and leave only the very core functions of your business. Outsource other functions, forgoing an office, and making everyone utilize the cloud for a much efficient, cost effective operation.

As Ron Markezich, Corporate VP of Microsoft’s U.S. Enterprise and Partner Group, said-“Telework is no longer a perk for employees but a business imperative. Ten years ago, it was seen more as an employee benefit. Today, businesses around the world are seeing telework as a necessity”.
