Benefits for FlexWorkers

The average commuter travels 30 miles roundtrip each day, over 45 minutes in traffic. Sound familiar?

FlexWork changes the way you work by creating an alternate schedule, or by teleworking at home. These new options in your work schedule create room for you to gain control over life's competing responsibilities. Who knew you could address unplanned work and personal matters while becoming a more productive and valued employee? FlexWork allows you to balance your work and home life, so that you can thrive rather than just survive.

FlexWork helps you:

Increase your value to your organization by becoming a more productive, creative, and "lower maintenance" employee
Develop skills that increase your effectiveness in every piece of work you undertake
Work in an environment with uninterrupted time to focus on the task at hand
Reduce your stress level and gain the ability to coordinate all of your life activities

Indirect Pay Raise
Improve Work/Life Balance
Manager Benefits

Indirect Pay Raise
FlexWork gives you an "indirect pay raise" by decreasing the After Tax expenses you pay to commute to work: automobile fuel, maintenance and insurance, dry-cleaning, food and other office and commuting costs are all decreased when you FlexWork. At the same time, you reduce your dependency on restaurants for meals, and skip the delays of traffic congestion, weather, and other people's schedules.

Kaiser Permanente's Oregon operations estimate that each telecommuter saves $1,500 per year in fuel, car maintenance and insurance costs.
Teleworkers at AirTouch found their car insurance rates drop by an average of 20%.

Work/Life Balance
Research consistently shows that FlexWorkers are more satisfied with their jobs, feel more supported by their managers, and are less stressed than non-FlexWorkers. Additionally, studies show that FlexWorkers use the time they would have spent commuting to benefit both their businesses and themselves, i.e. exercising or with family.

A study at Dupont Corporation found that employees who use or are aware of FlexWork programs are the least likely to feel overwhelmed or burned out.
A San Francisco North Bay Technology RoundTable survey found that 46 % of teleworkers experienced less job stress.
