Telecommuting is essentially working from home full time, or several days out of the workweek. More and more companies are finding that it makes their workers more productive to have this type of a work schedule. The following article gives ten reasons why you should telecommute.
1. Flexible work hours. If you are telecommuting, your schedule is more flexible. This will allow time for running errands or doctors appointments.
2. You’ll save money on buying clothes for work. If you work from home a few days a week, this means less outlay for clothes for work. You can work from home in your bathrobe and slippers if necessary, and no one will know the wiser.
3. You’ll save money on your dry-cleaning bill. If you work from home you won’t have to spend as much money on your dry-cleaning. You will be wearing those types of outfits less often and they will require cleaning on a less frequent basis.
4. You’ll save money on parking. Many places of business, especially in the heart of the city, charge you a monthly fee to park your car.
