Telecommuting Business Proposal
This proposal outlines the creation of a pilot telecommuting program for XYZ Accounting, an accounting firm based in Los Angeles. The pilot program will involve ten accountants who have been working full-time with the firm for at least two years. In the initial four-month test period, the chosen employees will work for two days at the office and three days at home.
Data from other firms which have adopted similar programs show that telecommuting results in higher worker productivity less absenteeism, and less employee turnover. Furthermore, companies have found that telecommuting can improve recruitment, increase organizational flexibility, boost employee morale and save on overhead expenses. This proposed four-month pilot telecommuting program is expected to generate the same results for XYZ Accounting.
