Improving
existing operations thorough GreenWorking can deliver a wide
range of benefits for the company, staff and the environment.
For the Business:
Business
benefits include:
- Eliminating
unnecessary business travel (both business and personal)
and related CO2 emissions

absenteeism and staff turnover
- Lowering
work related stress

property costs
For Staff:
One of
the main advantages of a flexible working approach is that
it allows many staff members experience a better work / life
balance and avoid travel with consequent benefits to time
and productivity:
- Less
time commuting equals more for work and personal life;
- Lower
personal travel costs
- Less
travel means maximum working hours with fewer evenings spent
catching up;
- Virtual
communication equals fewer long journeys and reduced subsistence
costs.
The ability
to download and share data remotely means that staff can avoid
extra trips home or to the office. This is especially useful
to those who spend a lot of time with clients.
Some
employees even feel that flexible working makes them far more
productive as they feel there can be fewer distractions at
home. Far from feeling isolated, the broad view is that easy
communication keeps teams in touch - regardless of their contractual
arrangements.
Many
employees feel less tired, able to exercise more and have
increased time with their families.
For the Environment:
The implications
for emissions from commuting are large. By becoming a more
sustainable business:
- Emissions
and carbon footprint (business and personal) can be reduced
- Additional
societal and environmental benefits can be achieved
