Telecommute Connecticut’s New Cost-Benefit Calculator Quantifies Savings
Return on Investment! It’s one of the key components to a successful business. Balancing ROI, remaining competitive, retaining key employees in critical functions and improving job satisfaction are issues Connecticut employers are struggling with.
Implementing a telecommuting program help employers effectively manage such issues. According to a 2009 CBIA survey, the top reasons Connecticut companies offer telecommuting to their employees are employee retention, increased productivity, recruitment and business continuity.
Telecommute Connecticut, a free service available to Connecticut employers, believes now is the perfect time to reassess ways to maximize your competitive advantage through telecommuting. Most often, cost savings achieved through telecommuting are attributable to increased productivity, decreased turnover and reduced office/parking requirements. So how do you quantify these savings?
Telecommute Connecticut has developed a Cost-Benefit Analysis Calculator, a new online interactive tool that provides a customized means of determining ROI for any company. “Cost-benefit analysis is often the primary driver of the telecommuting process,” says Laura Collins, a Human Resources Consultant for Telecommute Connecticut. “This is a very effective tool that helps businesses turn the intuitive benefits of telecommuting into tangible financial returns. The goal of the Cost-Benefit Calculator is to help support an organization’s business plan from a financial perspective.”
By using the Cost-Benefit Calculator, you can analyze the potential costs and benefits of telecommuting to your own unique organization. The calculator is easy to use and allows you to perform a cost-benefit analysis for each potential telecommuter by either plugging in your own numbers in the categories impacted by telecommuting or utilizing the default assumptions that Telecommute Connecticut has developed based on actual experience with Connecticut businesses.
To learn more about the calculator and how Connecticut companies offering telecommuting have been able to improve cost-efficiency and ROI, view a free webinar, “Outperform Your Competition by Leveraging Telecommuting to Enhance ROI” at www.telecommutect.com/employers/resources.php.
