Our firm is pivoting to an all online workforce.  In the article “Telecommuting Comes of Age” by Kerry Hanson it states some of the benefits.  One wrong spin  is provide in point #5.  Hanson states that a typical employer can save $11,000 per 1/2 time telecommuter per year.  Rather this should reflect that employers can afford to increase pay with the savings in not needing to provide office space, lunch rooms, parking garages...  We need to shout about using this “savings” to reduce the pay gap from the top down.
