Rather than employees driving to a central office to work, Virtual
Office creates a fully functional worksite from home. The implementation
of Virtual Office reduces carbon emissions related to employee
transportation to work. Benefits to the State of implementing Virtual
Office include the elimination of office space, increases in
productivity and reductions in turnover and absenteeism.
AHCCCS
has successfully implemented virtual office on a large scale. Since
implementing virtual office, AHCCCS has transitioned more than 300
employees, or 20% of their workforce, to full-time at-home employees,
and saved $677,000 annually by terminating leases on two office
buildings. Increased employee productivity ranges from 10% to 45% and
turnover has been reduced by 16.5%.
