How to Convince Your Boss to Let You Telecommute
If you believe your job can be done just as effectively from home, telecommuting might be an ideal option. Many office roles don't require a physical presence, and if yours fits the bill, it's worth discussing this with your boss. But what's the best way to make your case? Here’s some valuable advice on how to approach the conversation.
Focus on Business Benefits
When talking to your boss, remember that their main concern is the business?"not your personal life. Statements like, "I want to stay home with my kids," may not resonate well. Instead, shift the discussion to how telecommuting can benefit the company. Here are some compelling points to consider:
1. Reduced Turnover
Remote work often leads to higher job satisfaction, making employees less likely to leave. This can save the company the costs and disruptions associated with hiring and training new staff.
2. Increased Productivity
Without the usual office distractions, like casual chats by the water cooler, telecommuters can focus better on their tasks. Plus, they save time by not commuting, often leading to longer and more productive work hours.
3. Lowered Workman's Compensation Claims
Working from home eliminates the company's liability for on-site work injuries, potentially reducing compensation claims.
4. Enhanced Employee Health
Telecommuting reduces stress, which can lead to fewer health insurance claims, benefiting both the employee and the employer.
5. Cost Savings on Office Supplies and Facilities
By telecommuting, you can offer to use your own supplies and equipment, lowering the company’s overhead. If you're using your own computer, it’s an added bonus for them.
6. Fewer Sick Days
Remote workers tend to take fewer sick days, as they can often perform tasks from home even when feeling unwell.
Keep the Conversation Professional
Although you might have personal reasons for wanting to work from home, keep the discussion focused on how it will benefit the business. This strategic approach is more likely to appeal to your boss.
Engaging in an open dialogue about telecommuting may just pave your way to a flexible work arrangement that benefits you, your health, your family?"and yes, even your company!
