For individuals who have been made redundant, work at hometechnology makes it relatively easy to start their own enterprise to become self employed. Technology now provides scope for up to 40% of the population to work fromhome.Here are 10 reasons why individuals and companies should embrace working from home.1/. Calculate the costs associated with commuting to work. Consider the cost of private orpublic transport. Time spent on transport is “after tax” dollars, so the amount you need toearn to afford to commute should reflect tax and insurance you pay on earnings requiredto cover the cost of commuting. Consider the cost of fuel and vehicle depreciation. Manyfamilies can make do with one car, if one partner works from home.2/. Valuable time is spent commuting to work, add up how many hours you spend perweek, month, year getting to and from work. Once you total the number of hours,consider how much more effective you could be working from home. Or how more qualitytime you could share with your family. Many children suffer from lack of parentalguidance – parents are often too fatigued to spend time with their children after a longday’s work and commute.3/. Work from home employees usually work harder than commuters, as they have moretime available, and tend to put in more “out of office” hours during bad weather periods. They have more time to think, and thus become more productive.4/. Home workers suffer less stress, and less illness through less exposure to germscaught travelling on public transport. Home workers tend to be happier, and happierworkers tend to be more productive.5/. Home workers generate far less Co2 than office commuters, and so help the planet.Less commuters equal less traffic congestion allowing other workers to get to work faster,less fuel is wasted in unnecessary traffic jams.6/. Home workers require less office space, heating and lighting, so companies able tograsp this fact save overheads and are therefore better placed to compete in times of recession.7/. Home computers and Internet access allow home workers to communicate moreeffectively with co workers through Internet or Intranet.8/. Skype and other tele-commuting systems allow low cost telecommunications. AsInternet connections become faster, most workers will use video conferencing to stay intouch with co-workers and clients.
