Telework – The Best Commute is No Commute

Home » Telework – The Best Commute is No Commute

Since the pandemic, most companies instituted telework and hybrid work policies and programs. Some workplaces have gone completely “back to the office” while others view telework as part of their new work culture. Working remotely allows employees to gain commute time back. This added free time, along with avoiding the stress of traffic, can improve work-life balance and boost employee morale. As a society, we have had a number of years to streamline and perfect the remote working environment. The vast majority of workers have adjusted to virtual meetings and Zoom culture.

Benefits of Telework in 2025

According to the United States Census, the average travel time to work in 2024 was 26.8 minutes, or 53.6 minutes per day. What could you do if you gained almost one extra hour per workday by not having to commute to your job?

Remote work reduces costs for employers and employees. For employers, savings can include real estate costs, commuting expenses, parking obligations, as well as the costs associated with employee turnover when difficult commutes lead to job dissatisfaction.

For individuals, no commute is the best commute! Teleworking saves time commuting time to the office and also save money associated with travel: gasoline, parking, vehicle wear and tear. The same holds true for transit associated costs. The environment also benefits by fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
