Ecological Responsibility
American companies could add more than $260 billion annually to their bottom lines and consumers could save $228 billion if eligible employees worked from home which is based on the average annual savings of nearly $8,000 for each telecommuter (Lister and Harnish)
Creating a virtual sales and customer service department not only significantly reduces overhead costs but it also promotes a more ecologically responsible corporate culture. With the recent push for “Go Green” initiatives to counterbalance the major climate changes in recent years and to reduce our overall natural resource consumption, telework is a great solution.
Working from home offers so many mental health related benefits to your employees, improves productivity by an average of 25% and saves the company a ridiculous amount of money not to mention the press-worthy, marketable byproduct of your commitment to Eco-Responsibility.
Telework (Virtual or work from home) positions do a lot for the environment. The most noticeable change is the reduction of traffic on the roads, less emissions in the air and less road maintenance but also consider the overall affects of not using so much electricity, water and gas from a single building or grid. Consider the impact of using fewer florescent lights, printer/copier toner, cleaning chemicals, freon from refrigerators and air conditions and so many other pollutants we take for granted. Even though some of these things are used in the home, they don’t need to be duplicated in an office building or at least, their overall usage can be reduced.
Plan N and all subsidiaries leverage cloud-computing technologies, strict quality and performance assurance procedures and the viable, experienced American labor resources in economically distressed areas to create the Next Level of managed virtual services. Regardless of the brand or service, we provide a team of professionals for a fraction of the cost of in-house or even offshore labor. We are the authority on telework and have patent pending processes that grant us superior operational control while we produce a memorable 360° consumer experience.
Government “Go Green” Initiatives have already started and many mid-large scale corporations around the world are finding the massive benefits to their bottom line, employee health and ecological sustainability through their own efforts. This is a time for change. We need to all do our part to engage in commerce as responsibly as possible. Telework is a big part of the solution.
