u relecommuting, also known as ´teleworkµ or ´work at/from home,µ allows
individuals whose jobs can be conducted away from the office to do so
remotely from home or a satellite location.relecommuting is generally used
by companies whose employees rely on the Internet, computers, and
phones to complete tasks. Modern technology makes computer work
possible virtually everywhere, and with wireless capabilities, employers can
offer virtual access to work servers from remote locations. Clearly, it would
not be appropriate or feasible for certain retail or public service jobs

relecommuting can improve your production per unit of labor in a couple of different
ways. By hiring the best people from around the country, or even the world, you are
not limited to those who are within a reasonable commute distance. By allowing
employees being able to work in a more comfortable environment they are often more
productive.
Office buildings are expensive capital investments. When you hire a telecommuter you
are taking advantage of workspaces owned by that person and not relying on property
owned and maintained by your company. Most people who work in an office
environment have homes that sit empty for a significant portion of the day. By
allowing them to use the space that they are already paying for you can cut your
capital costs with little or no additional burden on your employees.
&
ariable costs are also a factor in productivity. Hiring telecommuters can reduce a
number of your variable costs including labor and utilities.When you can hire from
different geographical locations you can take advantage of lower labor
costs.relecommuting is an aspect of technology that has invaded the workplace and
changed for the foreseeable future.rhe office has been extended to include the at
home parents and other individuals, who may be tending to household duties, while
awaiting feedback from their latest submissions. Productivity has improved, due to the
change in environment for some workers who enjoy working by themselves, because
they can remain focus and maximize their performances. rhe energy they usually
expend to worry about family concerns, traffic congestion, lunch, and time offs to
make timely payments, and other business transactions, can now be channeled
towards improving themselves on the job.

rhe problem with hunting, as prevalent as it is, is that it doesn't work very well. rhere
just aren't that many big facilities to go around. rhere are about 700 corporate moves
visible to the naked eye in a given year in the whole U.S.A., and 15,000 economic
development organizations chasing those moves. rhere's a lot of evidence that what
economic development authorities do to market their region just doesn't have much to
do with what corporate site planners decide. rax abatements are certainly taken if
offered, but they come out of the hides of the taxpayers already there who often say,
"What the hell is going on; did I vote for this?µ

rhere is considerable potential for expanding telecommuting, but some barriers must
first be overcome. rhe principal barriers are:
rhe frequency at which job gets done, will also improve when telecommuting is
involved, because workers may choose different hours to meet their deadlines,
some of which may be while others sleep.
