Twice-weekly telecommuting could save companies
Twice-weekly telecommuting could save Canadian companies, employees and the community more than $53 billion per year, according to a report by Calgary Economic Development and the Telework Research Network.
Employers could see savings of $10,000 annually for twice-weekly telecommuting per employee, and employees could see savings between $600 and $3,500, found the study.
“(The report) has us convinced more than ever of the necessity to work within our communities and organizations to start adopting these practices in a very meaningful way,” said Robyn Bews, program manager at WORKshift, a federally funded initiative led by Calgary Economic Development.
