With the rise of the Internet, many more employees are now working from home. 3.7 million employees, which is approximately 2.8% of the country’s workforce, work from their homes. This number is up over 100% since 2005. Though employers may balk at the idea, letting their employees work from home can actually save them a great deal of money. If all your employees are remote, that frees up the capital you would have spent on renting or owning an office space. That can be a huge different to a small business (or even a large one). Ooma made this infographic about how work-from-home employees can optimize their workspace and their time. It also includes some interesting stats, and links to some great apps to help you work from home more efficiently.
