Via Network World comes news that Cisco has saved an impressive $277 million by allowing employees to work at home with virtual office technology:
Not only does Cisco’s telecommuting technology help the company save on collaboration technologies, but also the company’s telework program makes employees happy, survey results show. Cisco based its productivity savings on the number of billed hours at an average of $91 per hour, with the total figure reaching about $277 million. In addition, the vendor estimated employees garnered fuel cost savings exceeding $10 million per year.
Yet cost savings was not the primary goal of the survey, Cisco executives say.
More information on the benefits of telecommuting—from cost savings to helping the environment—can be found in IIA’s Broadband Fact Book.
