Hello,

You can help open up more jobs by simply impressing employers with the office space and overhead savings hiring work at home TeleCommuters brings.

Up to $16,000 per year has been saved in office space, utilities, equipment and overhead costs per year. A good start on being able to afford a full-time staff member, but could be the salary needed to employ an as-needed contractor or part-time TeleCommuter to allow a company to maintain service of existing clients -- or go after new business.

Companies aware of the huge savings in employing work at home TeleCommuters have opened up a growing number of jobs to hire the staff they need to keep their companies going even as the number of onsite jobs dwindle.

But so many more jobs can be opened up. The more companies that realize this, the more jobs can be opened up for the unemployed.

What's happening in companies large and small to put TeleCommuter savings to work in this economy
to keep their companies flourishing:


  The majority of small businesses...are cutting overhead costs...in response to the economic downturn and rising energy costs, according to the results of a new survey by RingCentral. Significantly, one of the key strategies for dealing with these challenges is telecommuting. Nearly 40 percent of responding small businesses are cutting back on office space and having their employees work from home.

Flexible staffing initiatives reduce payroll costs, but they don't cut people. Implemented well, they allow a company to meet business objectives and save money, while allowing employees to keep jobs they might otherwise lose. Telecommuting: Second to payroll, office maintenance is the biggest expense for most companies. These include rent, heat and electricity. By setting up employees at home where most already have the necessary computer and modem, the cost-saving potential is vast.

  Sun Microsystems on the leading edge of rising trend. Nearly half of the software company's 40,000 employees work from home or in a flexible office up to two days a week. The program is allowing Sun to attract and retain the best talent from around the world -- while reducing its office space by one sixth.

The Center for Biological Diversity is using open work to its advantage. Located in Arizona, only a third of their 65 employees actually live in the state. In a world where funds are tight and the opportunities are endless,
open work offers a money-saving, low-impact solution.

  Brendan Koerner writes in Wired.com: 'Given that it costs more than $15,000 per year to provide an employee with 200 square feet of cubicle, the savings would be significant -- so great, in fact, that companies would still come out thousands of dollars ahead after springing for workers ’ broadband and VoIP expenses.

Victor Liu, president of Link High Technologies, a New Jersey provider of managed IT solutions and network services, says he's noticed an increased interest in telecommuting among his clients in the past three to six months, with many of them opting not to renew leases on satellite offices and allowing those employees to work at home instead.

  More companies are using alternative workplace strategies, allowing employees to work from places other than the main office, to cut costs. According to a survey co-conducted by Microsoft Corp., more companies are embracing the idea of employees working...from other remote locations in an effort to cut costs
and keep key employees. The concept is growing as economic conditions deteriorate, according to Microsoft, which polled attendees at a Dallas Global Summit.

Gone are the days of thinking that workplace flexibility is a “benefit” for employees that can only be offered during good economic times. Changes in...technology, and a troubled economy are actually fueling the need to use flexible work arrangements as a critical strategy for controlling costs and staying viable. http://triangle.dbusinessnews.com/shownews.php?newsid=178928&type_news=latest
