Employee commuting – using the distance based method
*Note that this is related to employees travelling from/to the office, not employees travelling to customers/conferences. The latter would be deemed ‘business travel’.
What is most straightforward here is to think about:
Share of folks working in-office (eg out of organisations' 352 headcount, is it a 100% or 50%)
Avg days of those people in, actually going into office. Eg perhaps Organisation AZ has an office attendance policy that stipulates 3 office days.
We’ve had users cross-reference badge-ins, but not sure if such advanced insights are available to your organisation
Avg round trip distance people have to the office, but you can probably make an estimated guess based on asking the HR colleague, eg do people live within 5/10/20/50 mile radius on avg
In the US on average 95% of cars are gasoline with only 5% diesel (source EIA), so we would assume all cars use gasoline/petrol (same word!)
Example: 50% of headcount goes in (176#), 3 days per week office policy, assuming 48 work weeks per year hence 144 trips, average round trip distance is 15 miles, hence inserting the below:
Home working - using the average-based method
This should be aligned to your assumptions for commuting, i.e. if you assume 3-day per week office policy, then you would take 2-days WFH as the average for your calculations here. How to get to the total hours of working from home (the final input our calculator would ask for):
50% of company have WFH 2 days per week, 50% 5 days.
Assuming average work day is 8 hours, 48 work weeks per year
So, the total number of hours WFH are:
50%*352*2*8*48 = 135,168
50%*352*5*8*48 = 337,920
Total = 473,088 hours
