TeleCommuting….Saving Energy by Not Going to Work!

What is Telecommuting?
Telecommuting is the practice of working from home, or a remote workstation, rather than traveling to and working in a more traditional workplace. A telecommuting program can be implemented on a full- or part-time basis, and is typically administered by agreement between the employer and the employee.

Why Telecommute?
Telecommuting provides several potential benefits, especially with respect to air quality and traffic congestion relief. Less vehicle miles traveled results in less gasoline consumed, and fewer emissions released. Increased use of telecommuting would promote the improvement of air quality, reduce traffic congestion, and help Ogden become a more alternative-transportation-friendly community.

What Factors Affect Telecommuting?
Telecommuting may not be suitable to every job, situation or individual. Several conditions must be met in order for a successful telecommuting program to be implemented. Please consult with your employer to learn what your company’s policies are, and whether or not this practice will work for you.
