Onequarter of the US workforce could be doing their jobs at home if all those able to telecommute chose to do so,according to a study on Wednesday which said many still elect to work at the office.
All those people working from home could translate into annual gasoline savings of $3.9 billion,according to the National Technology Readiness Survey.
But the study also found that about 14 percent of the workforce has the option to telecommute but chooses not to.As the study’s principal researcher,Professor P.K. Kannan,put it:
That seems to suggest that even if employers were to say tomorrow that everybody had the option of telecommuting and that it would save a lot of gas,that’s not going to happen.
What’s going on?Some of it is obvious:people like to go to the office for social reasons,even if their work tasks don’t require it.And that’s not just to be around other people.Our social needs also include being seen,and making “right” impressions on bosses and colleagues.Our own research at Work Design Collaborative is completely consistent with that interpretation.
So how are we actually going to realize the energysaving opportunities that we’re missing?It seems to me there are two very basic actions called for.
