Kathleen Matthews knows the difference working from home has made for her in her job.
The senior sales management employee just started “teleworking” from home this year and said it has saved the company thousands.
“Working from home means we don’t need to have an office, which is good because I am the only one working in the Calgary area for our company,” Matthews said.
What Matthews values most is not driving to and from the office during rush hour everyday.
“I only have to drive to appointments now, so I try to make them during the less busy times of day. It really helps with the cost of gas, too,” she added.
Calgary Economic Development (CED) would like to see more employers and employees in the city working together to “telework” from home, which would relieve pressure on the roads and help save the environment from toxic gas emissions.
