Bloomberg reports that Americans are saving 60 million hours PER DAY from working from home (“WFH”). This figure is based on research by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Think about it: the average life span of an American is 79 years, which is about 29,000 days, which is 690,000 hours.
Saving 60 million hours per day is like saving 87 lifetimes each day! To us, this figure is astounding and should give pause to those seeking a full return-to-office (“RTO”).
The reality is that WFH is a tremendous lifestyle boon to workers while simultaneously being a management headache. But tools/apps to coordinate work and uphold productivity have never been cheaper or easier to use.
The reality is that WFH is a tremendous lifestyle boon to workers while simultaneously being a management headache.
Yet, even with these tools, management decries a loss of productivity and an inability to manage, turning to software and devices to track and monitor employees (i.e., “Bossware”).
We, of course, think this is wrong-headed. For calendar-based teams, CalendarCrush has helped users overcome this management issue by simply generating insights into team productivity, project progress, and of course, tabulation of hours for invoicing and payment. No need to go digitally medieval on your peeps.

Besides, these hours are commuting hours which carry a net detriment to the environment… maybe even reduce vehicle accidents. With sky-high fuel prices, your workers – and hence your organization – are literally saving time, energy, and lives.
