Benefiting the Employee: Telecommuting

As an employee you know how much time is wasted each day. The wastefulness
begins before you even set foot inside your office! You are stuck in
traffic for hours on end, and instead of being on the telephone talking with
customers and clients you are forced to inch at a snail’s pace closer to the
exit that will take you to yet another clogged highway. It is therefore no
surprise that so many employees clamor to get a chance a telecommuting. If
you have what it takes to work diligently and without direct supervision of
others, then this mode of work will most likely yield great benefits for
you. Some of these benefits are of course quite obvious: the ability to
spend time with your family is perhaps the one advantage most often
mentioned by those who telecommute.

Yet the very fact that you will be able to take a greater sense of ownership
from the job will spur you on to give it your all. You will most likely work
even more closely with customers and clients to cultivate the important
relationships that ensure future growth for the company and that will also
help you to personally reap grater profits by establishing that one on one
relationship so many consumers crave. Add to this the heightened
productivity you will experience as a result of no longer being subject of
the traffic congestion that is so frequently found everywhere, and you can
see how your personal sales will begin to take off!

Some wagging tongues will attempt to belittle your efforts, and quite
possibly even make you feel guilty for taking a coffee break, taking Rover
for a quick walk, or simply for doing a load of laundry in between
assignments. While in excess your critics would be right, in moderation
these activities actually benefit the employer. Short breaks and a change of
scenery are akin to the trip to the kitchen at work to refill your coffee.
You get away from everything for a bit, exercise, and then return quite
often with a fresh perspective and ready to give it even more of an effort.

Interestingly, one of the greatest benefits to telecommuting for the
employee is rarely mentioned: the fact that disturbances by other employees
are all but eliminated. You know how frustrating it can be when suddenly
someone enters your office to chat, or to ask for your help with a task, or
simply because they want to discuss an aspect of a project with you. While
necessary activities, they can be greatly curtailed by telecommuting, thus
allowing you to complete your assignments faster and with much greater
efficiency. This in turn might allow you a bit of leisure time toward the
end of the day that you would not have been able to realize otherwise.
