Find Out if You and Your Current Job are Suitable for Telework
December 19, 2007 | Posted by Kat 
Want an objective opinion on whether you and your job are good candidates for a telework arrangement?
All it takes is 3 minutes to use the Telework Exchange Online Eligibility Gizmo and it will assess and report back to you on your eligibility. It will also aid you in producing a report to present to your manager to help “sell” yourself into a teleworking arrangement.
This is primarily a government-oriented site, but it was interesting to find out my telecommuting cost savings and pollution savings per year working from home:
Commuting Costs
$6,075 – Total amount spent commuting to and from work in a year
10200 – Number of pounds of pollutants dispersed by your car in a year
5.1 – Number of tons of pollutants dispersed by your car in a year
What is Telework Exchange? In their own words:
“Telework ExchangeSM is a public-private partnership focused on demonstrating the tangible value of telework and serving the emerging educational and communication requirements of the Federal teleworker community. The organization facilitates communication among Federal teleworkers, telework managers, and IT professionals.”
