Overhead Reductions:  Organizations with sophisticated and well-planned telecommuting programs


have found a number of ways to reduce the space and furnishing requirements for
employees.  Organizations with a large number of telecommuters have actually reduced their office
space requirements, and, consequently, their rents, by insisting that telecommuting employees share
desks and other resources at their company facilities.  This type of savings can be recognized when
organizations schedule their employees telecommuting days appropriately.
        Some organizations go so far as to treat office space as hotel suites that can be reserved in advance
or assigned when telecommuters ??check-in?? on days when they commute.  In these organizations,
an individual??s telephone number can be routed to whichever office suite they happen to be
occupying.
        Some organizations provide sophisticated telecommunications services for their telecommuters.  For
example, office telephone numbers can be routed anywhere the employee happens to be: a regular
office, a shared suite, a client??s location, or the home office.  The caller has no way of knowing
where the person is at the time of the call.
        Organizations have reported up to 30% reductions in overhead by requiring sales and service
personnel to telecommute.
 Program Continuity:  Telecommuting also serves as a mechanism to avoid or minimize external
impacts on projects and programs.  Telecommuters are less likely to use sick days for their own minor
illnesses.  Rather than take sick time and be unproductive for the entire day, telecommuters often find
that the opportunity to work at home allows projects to proceed (and without risking the health of
their office mates).
        Telecommuting is also useful in minimizing the impacts of other occurrences, such as extremely
inclement weather, highway construction, or special events (e.g., the Olympics).  In the Snow Belt, ??
snow days?? at local schools force many parents to stay at home, rather than go to work, in order to
supervise children usually at school.  And even employees without children can find it difficult to
even get to the office.  These interruptions play havoc with deadlines and deliverables.  Organizations
with telecommuting programs in place are much less affected by the weather.
