The Benefits Of Working From Home
                     The Benefits Of Working 
From Home
Better Work-Life Balance
Many remote jobs also come with flexible schedules, which means that workers 
can start and end their day as they choose, as long as their work is complete and 
leads to strong outcomes. This control over your work schedule can be invaluable 
when it comes to attending to the needs of your personal life.
Whether it’s dropping kids off at school, running some errands, attending an online 
fitness class in the morning, or being home for a contractor, these tasks (and 
more!) are all easier to balance when you work from home.
Less Commute Stress
The average one-way commuting time in the U.S. is 27.1 minutes—that’s nearly 
an hour each day spent getting to and from work, and it really adds up. According 
to the Auto Insurance Center, commuters spend about 100 hours commuting and 
41 hours stuck in traffic each year. Some “extreme” commuters face much longer 
commute times of 90 minutes or more each way.
Location Independence
One of the considerable benefits of telecommuting is having access to a broader 
range of job opportunities that aren’t limited by geographic location. This can be 
especially helpful for job seekers living in rural communities and small towns 
where there may not be many available local positions.
Having no set job location means that, pre-pandemic, fully remote workers could 
also travel and live as digital nomads while having a meaningful career. Though a 
full nomad lifestyle is currently on hold, as borders begin to open up, it’s still a 
definite perk.
Improved Inclusivity
Remote work enables companies to embrace diversity and inclusion by hiring 
people from different socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural backgrounds and 
with different perspectives—which can be challenging to accomplish when 
recruiting is restricted to a specific locale that not everyone wants, or can afford, 
to live near.
Money Savings
People who work from home half time can save around $4,000 per year. Gas, car 
maintenance, transportation, parking fees, a professional wardrobe, lunches 
bought out, and more can all be reduced or eliminated from your spending 
entirely. These savings add up and put more money back into your pocket.
Positive Environmental Impact
The 3.9 million employees who worked from home at least half time before the 
pandemic reduced greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of taking more 
than 600,000 cars off the road for an entire year. A whopping 7.8 billion vehicle 
miles aren’t traveled each year for those who work at least part-time from home, 3 
million tons of greenhouse gases (GHG) are avoided, and oil savings reach $980 
million.
Impact on Sustainability
Remote work supports a variety of sustainability initiatives, from economic growth 
and reduced inequalities, to sustainable cities, climate change, and responsible 
consumption.
One of the fastest, cheapest ways for employers and employees to reduce their 
carbon footprint and affect climate change is by reducing commuter travel. In fact, 
the world is already seeing markedly reduced pollution, congestion, and traffic 
during the pandemic response, and being able to experience the results firsthand 
may be a driver of remote work for everyone involved.
