Loading ...Abraham Harrison LLC, where I work, is promoting not only a cutting-edge work environment, but an environmentally-friendly work place as well. The simple fact is that the workers at AHLLC are not commuting every day. To understand the savings afforded by thousands of people working from their homes, you need to first understand the reduction in commute time. Consider this:
- The average one-way commute distance per trip is approximately 19.5 miles (or 39 miles round trip)
- The average number of round trip commutes of about 1000 workers per year, assuming 50 work weeks, is 250.
- By eliminating the need for say 1,000 people to commute, there is an actual reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) of 9,750,000 miles. In other words, almost 10 million miles not traveled.
Now, Abraham Harrison does not employ 1000 people (well at least not yet..stay tuned), but you can get the picture from the figures. The amount of gas that is not being burned into the environment is just another aspect that helps preserve our world.
If more workplaces could make the move to managing their employees from their homes/alternate workplaces, imagine the wear it would take off the environment. Companies also need to understand that this will not hurt their productivity. For example, it’s been proven that home-based workers have been achieving faster call resolution, higher conversions and larger sales orders than in-office customer service representatives.
Another thing to look at is that Abraham Harrison is operating through a virtual office, not one that is soaking up resources. Each worker can make pure efficiency happen with a computer and an Internet connection. There is no need for all the other fluff. All of the energy that is being burned up is within the brains of the employees……
