The Benefits of Telecommuting Part time
November 12, 2007
Some employers are leery about letting their employees work from home even on a part time basis. Keep that in mind when proposing the telecommuting idea to your boss. Make a list of the benefits and present it to your boss when making your proposal. Here are some benefits of telecommuting that you can add to your list:
Eliminating the hassles that commuting to a job can present on your work performance. A lot of times, your commute can be a headache which can cause tension by the time you arrive at the office. By eliminating the tension of commuting, your mind is free and ready to delve into your job responsibilities for the day.
Avoiding office politics and gossip. Every office has their dramas from time to time. Unfortunately, they can be extremely distracting and can decrease a person’s performance on the job. By working from home, those distractions aren’t there and you can concentrate solely on the task at hand and not what your co-worker is doing.
Less time taken off from work for personal reasons. When working from home, you can still go to personal appointments, but you can make up for the time lost by working at a later time in the day. When working in the office, this option isn’t always available.
More alert for your job. On days you have to go to the office, you get up early, get ready and leave to go to work. Depending on how far you live from the office, you may have to get up in the wee hours of the morning, disrupting your sleep time. When this happens, your body and mind is still sleepy when you get to work making concentrating difficult. By telecommuting, you can sleep in longer and be ready to work right away. You can even start your work earlier if you choose to.
Telecommuting part time benefits you by saving money on gas and clothes needed for the office. You have more time to spend with your family and less time is wasted commuting back and forth to work. When proposing telecommuting to your boss, only focus on how it benefits the company. Be professional in your proposal and don’t mention how you will benefit as they won’t be interested in it anyway.
