Environemental Impacts

People are significantly more concerned these days about their own environmental impact. This may include reduced consumption, recycling, driving a hybrid car and being much more aware of your employers impact on the environment.

Whether it's one of your primary reasons or a unexpected side effect there is a tangible environmental benefit to having a remote workforce.

Having a remote workforce can save resources in many different ways :

Reduced Utility Costs at buildings
Reduced support staff costs, security, facilities, etc
Reduced Construction Costs for new buildings, or renovations
Reduced exhaust from vehicular travel


I've had the opportunity to see some reports generated by a great company called teletrips that specializes in really quantifying how much environmental benefit your company can get from a remote workforce. Check out their site!
