In 2003, AT&T realized over $150 million in benefits in one year alone for its work at home or teleworking program(s). And each year more and more employees become work at home employees for AT&T.

In 2006, Cisco Systems, Inc. reported that it had garnered more than $277 million in productivity savings by letting employees work from home using the company’s own virtual office technology.

In 2007, Sun Microsystem's Open Work program prevented an estimated 29,000 metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere while saving the company nearly $68 million in real estate costs.

In 2009, Georgia was to become the first state to offer tax credits to companies that allow employees to telecommute.  The Georgia Telework Tax Credit offers a company $20,000 for planning, training and/or labor costs in setting up a telework program.  It also offered an additional $1200 per new teleworker created in 2009 to help offset the cost of equipment like computers, software and maintenance.

 








Home-Based Employee Services
Taking Work Home is Not Always Easy

The Home-Based Employee Services provided by Wanda helps companies increase productivity and reduce overhead.

Wanda delivers strategies and support to help employees transition from office-based to home-based smoothly, with less work flow interruptions.

Specializing in home-office organization for safety, order and efficiency, as well as personal time management for productivity, and family preparedness for work-life balance.

If your company is considering restructuring and allowing employees to work from home, you should also consider providing those employees with personalized employee assistance, a different kind of relocation service. The transition from office to home could become quite costly by causing work flow interruptions. As companies take this new step, many fail to realize what it takes for an employee to be “successful” at working from home.

Some of the services we provide include:

  • Free Company Assessment: Find out which departments/positions are best suited for transferring staff to home-based.  This free assessment also helps you to understand ways in which to monitor employees working from home, increase profits by reducing overhead, reduce turn-over, and become socially responsible to the environment by reducing employee commuting. 

  • Employee Assessments: Not all employees are capable of flying solo, working without supervision. Personal assessments will provide you with the feedback necessary for selecting a successful home-based team.

  •  Employee Assistance Program: The program is tailored for various levels, from support staff to senior management, and include:
    • A two-hour in-house group (or one-on-one) presentation/orientation for those designated to transfer to home-based. We cover what to expect, and how to make a smooth transition with the least amount of work flow interruption.
    • Questionnaires are completed by each employee and include information on home office space evaluation (size, setup, equipment), and family situation (partners, roommates, spouses, children, dogs, family routines and proposed working hours).
    • Personal Coaching on designing and maximizing office space for safety and efficiency. VIP executives may receive personal in-home assistance with office design and set-up. Others would receive virtual assistance via webcam and one-on-one teleconferencing.
    • Personal Coaching on designing a time management schedule for work-life balance, and establishing personal boundaries with family members.

There are a number of emotional, social, economic and environmental impacts associated with employees working from home, and the work-from-home movement is growing each year.  Let Wanda help you create a dynamic team and a win-win for everyone as your organization restructures and joins the work-from-home movement.

With proper assistance, anyone with a home can create a safe, orderly and efficient work environment, even if there appears to be no space.

Contact us to schedule a Free Company Assessment to find out if your organization or department is right for making the move from office-based to home-based.
