How to “green” your business and cut down on travel expenses

Conference calling can help you reduce your travel costs and the negative environmental consequences of consuming fuel by holding meetings with your off-site participants via the phone lines and arranging for some employees to work from home.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, if 10% of Americans worked from home only one day per week, they would conserve 1.2 million gallons of fuel and prevent 24 million pounds of pollutants from entering the atmosphere each week.

Americans know the importance of reducing fuel consumption, yet we still waste time and resources on expensive business trips to complete tasks that could be completed from our desks or even from home.

Conference calling is an easy and affordable way to reduce fuel consumption. It allows you to eliminate long commutes and keep accurate records of your meetings. Not only will it save money, but it will also save time, which allows employees to become more productive.

Other ways to cut down on fuel consumption:

• Offer carpool-matching services that allow employees to find co-workers that live near them.
• Encourage biking and walking to work by providing bike racks outside the building and a restroom facility with a shower and changing area.
• Provide parking spots close to the building for those who carpool.
• Introduce flexible work schedules allowing employees to work four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour days.
