“Time is our most precious and finite resource. You can not buy more of it. If you are spending it commuting, consider what it is costing you.”
Harvard Business Review found that employees who work remotely are over 30% more productive than traditional office employees, quit at half the rate, and have much higher job satisfaction. HBR attributes the benefits to two things: the no “cake in the break room” effect (and at Accelo we LOVE celebrating with cake, just check out our Instagram) and longer hours. Typically, remote workers start earlier, take shorter breaks, and work until the end of the day. Plus, they are less likely to run errands during lunch.
Accelo pushes forward productivity with collaborative projects. Utilizing project planning, project tracking, task management, time tracking, and dependencies provides a solid framework to work with coworkers and clients from afar.
Not surprisingly, excessive hours spent in the car and on the train aren’t great for personal health. Fascinatingly enough, as the distance you commute increases so does your risk level for a number of adverse health conditions, such as high blood pressure, increase in body weight, and metabolic risks. How about recycling your commuting time and turning it into your gym time? Furthermore, health is not only physical. Mental and emotional health is also likely to improve, as the level of fulfillment is much happier for people who work outside the office. It makes sense because without a commute you have more flexibility in your schedule to spend quality time with your family, friends, and other loved ones.
“Time is our most precious and finite resource,” says Brian de Haaf, CEO of Aha!. “You can not buy more of it. If you are spending it commuting, consider what it is costing you. And then think about what you could gain by casting it aside.” We love saving time at Accelo. Most of our clients rave about the time tracking features on our platform and boast the amount of time they’ve saved since switching to our platform. This begs us to ask, what would you do with an extra 5 hours a day? Learn a new skill? It takes 45 minutes a day to begin developing a new hobby. Maybe you’ll pick up the piano, learn to knit, or simply spend the time meditating.
If you’re a team of remote workers or looking to offer this benefit in the future, sign up for a free trial today and see how easy it is to collaborate across cities, time zones, and countries with Accelo!
