Teleworking, or telecommuting, has been around for many years, but the payoff hasn't lived up to its promise until recently. Among other obstacles, communications technology left too many teleworkers feeling like the poor cousins of coworkers in headquarters buildings.
Leaving multiple reach numbers was a drag, and participating in webinars or receiving large files could be cumbersome or impossible. Today, the combination of Internet protocol platforms, broadband access, and wireless technologies have evened the playing field.
Just within the U.S. government, the number of teleworkers has doubled to more than 100,000 since 2001, according to the Office of Personnel Management. Companies that embrace teleworking can see increases in productivity, improvements in the quality and size of the available labor pool, happier employees, and reduced real-estate costs.
