Telework
Working from home can benefit employees and employers in many ways. It creates a work-life balance, increases productivity, reduces stress among many other advantages.

While teleworking during the past five years, I have experienced increased job satisfaction, increased productivity, and I enjoy a better and more manageable work-life balance that has increased my happiness and outlook on the work week.
By reducing my commute to the office to only two days per week, I enjoy reduced car expenses and have found that my remote work schedule allows me to be more intentional about the time I take during the week to run errands. I plan shopping trips to coincide with days that I am commuting to the office for work, which reduces my carbon footprint.
