Tele-Working

Implementing collaboration throughout your organization can support initiatives such as tele-working and ultimately provide the company real cost savings.

The cost savings realized through collaboration and tele-working are not just through increased productivity but can demonstrate immediate ROI and reduction in company operational costs.

In addition to the employee benefits provided by a tele-working policy, tele-working reduces facility costs. For example, a study done on the work space expenses in Sydney shows that an individual workspace can cost an organization on average $21,000 per year. Another survey shows that 54% of a workers cost is facilities based.

To provide a tele-working program and realize the cost savings, a supporting collaboration strategy needs to be implemented. The following are some of the guidelines C2C can provide to assist your organization in implementing a tele-working initiative and realizing the cost savings:

• Business Case Development
• Identifying the employees most suitable for tele-working
• Identify the communication and collaboration requirements for each tele-worker
• Review of the existing technologies available to support tele-workers
• Providing a consistent technology solution for all tele-workers
• Testing and training
• Management review to ensure solution is supporting the initial requirements
• Providing a technology fit-out/recommendations to support more group/meeting spaces.
