Work From Home And Telecommuting Employees Saving Companies Millions

McKesson Medical Health Solutions has almost 800 employees, most of whom are registered nurses, who provide triage and disease management services to health insurers. Arguments for telecommuting often stress the advantages for employees of being able to work from home some or all of the time, ranging from the time they save by not having to commute to the ability it gives them to take care of errands or care for a sick child. About half of McKesson?s savings reflect the cutbacks the changes allowed it to make in office space. Since starting its work-at-home project in 2003, the company has gone from six brick-and-mortar call centers down to two, for a savings of $2 million a year. Mrs. Casey noted that cutting down on office space has eliminated not only rent and utility costs but other expenses as well, from security to coffee to copier rentals. |
