Why Telework?

There are 41 million people in the U.S. who have telework compatible jobs. According to Kate Lister, of the TeleWork Research Network, once-weekly telecommutes could save the U.S. as much as $350 billion in employer, employee and community benefits.

Telework Week last year was a huge success with the Telework Exchange estimating:

• 40,000 individuals and organizations pledged
• $2,730,229 saved on commuting costs,
• 148,692 hours gained back
• 1,818 tons of pollutants removed from the air
• 3,764,001 miles were saved (not driven)

If you want to do more telework, bring it up at your work.  We’re excited to help organizations make the leap to flexible work. There has never been a better time for organizations to make the transition to a more flexible communication service.
