Employee satisfaction is the biggest benefit that telecommuting offers in most cases.
Stress is reduced, work is more enjoyable and easier, and a new sense of loyalty is developed for their job. Telecommuting is often the employee's idea, and once they prove to their employer that it can be a productive situation for both parties involved, a sense of accomplishment is also developed. In general, the elimination of the daily commute and the sense of increased freedom to effectively complete projects increases employee satisfaction. Telecommuting also provides nice rewards for employers as well. More often than not, employee productivity is increased.
