Some interesting links about teleworking and telecommuting:
|
Teleworking, also known as telecommuting, means you work from home or a satellite office near your home. You stay in touch with your office by telephone, FAX, network connection or email. Some employees telework one day a week or more, depending on their employer.

employer. Many employers encourage their employees to telework because it reduces traffic congestion, air pollution and the stress of commuting. Employers also find other benefits:
 |
Flexible scheduling. Teleworkers can schedule their actual work time during their most effective periods and around the other demands in their lives. |
 |
Reduced office expenses. With shared office space and shared resources, some employers report up to a 30 percent reduction in overhead costs. |
 |
High productivity/more time to work. Employees who telework (and their supervisors) say they're more effective at home than at the office. Without the interruptions at the office, teleworkers can get more work done. |
 |
Employee loyalty. Employers use teleworking to keep valued employees who can no longer commute to their offices. Teleworking also makes it easier to attract or retain valuable workers who are unable to make it to the office. |
