$4 Gas – 4 Day Work Week
Did you happen to catch the Today Show on NBC today? Well I did and they ran an over 4 minute segment on the Four-Day work week and telecommuting!
Stories were presented on employees being hit hard by these rising fuel costs – some saying that they are using up to one week’s pay out of the month’s pay for gasoline! Unbelievable isn’t it?
Because of these soaring costs, some businesses are taking notice and offering employees telecommuting and yes, some are offering a four-day work week. One company mentioned in the segment in particular, Lathem Corp is offering offers telecommuting, van pools, and four-day work weeks.
Benefits of telecommuting mentioned are increases in morale, loyalty, productivity. Some studies suggest that some companies are experiencing 10%-20% increases in productivity from telecommuting.
Matt Lauer interviewed John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray and Christmas, the nations leading employment and consulting firm.
