Commuter Challenge has prepared this cost-benefit calculator to help you determine the viability of telework for your organization. If you are considering initiating telework as a pilot demonstration, or if you are expanding existing programs to involve more employees, this analysis will help you make key decisions. It also will assist you with an annual review of the actual savings and costs.

The cost-benefit tool will walk you through benefits and business rationale, such as real estate savings, employee effectiveness, and employee recruitment and retention. It also details the costs for administration, training, telecommunications, and equipment. Many employers find that the benefits of telework far outweigh the costs and feel that it gives them a competitive advantage over businesses without telework programs.

None of your data passes over the network, the internet, or in any other way leaves your computer; it is completely confidential.
