Earlier, the work-life balance programs were proposed at different levels of an organization due to long working hours, time consumed in transportation, stressful working environment and so on. However, it has been observed that there are few other reasons like rising gas prices etc. that forces employees to stay away from the road.
Rising gas prices has led to an increase in monthly expenditure of employees. Employers are also worrying due to rise in gasoline prices as they have to increase annual salary packages or they will risk losing talent from their organization.
In order to provide employee benefits without increasing their salary package, an easy way has come up to offer them telecommuting as an alternate working arrangement. By telecommuting, we mean that a person is allowed to create a work arrangement in which they have flexibility in selecting hours and location as per their working pattern.
Managers have to decide whether they want to implement telecommuting policy as a traffic avoidance strategy and rising gas prices or they are ready to lose the top performers. If you are having proper in managing this policy along with work pressure and other work commitments, you can take the help from workplace consultancies that can help you with suitable solutions that fits well with your organization.
