The Telework Research Network has posted that highlights some of the many benefits of telecommuting (or teleworking) just one day a week (Not sure what the difference is between these two terms? Find out from Jack Nilles, who coined them).
Among the interesting stats:
- Working from home results in a 10%-20% increase in employee productivity.
- 76% of telecommuters are more willing to put in extra time on work.
- Telecommuters report having 25% less stress and 80% say they have a better work-life balance.
- Just one day of telecommuting could be the equivalent of taking 77,000 cars off the road for a year.
You can see the whole infographic at Telework Research Network. The blog says it's created by Citrix Online, although the image itself sources Splashtop (makers of great remote access applications) and created by Column Five).
Either way, let's support the Work at Home Fridays Movement: Convince your boss to let you work from home or find out how to get a telecommuting job.
