Dear Dear Increasingly, private and public organizations are adopting telecommuting as a business strategy.

Telecommuting expands the radius of the labor pool. For example, Micro Focus, headquartered in Newbury, England, has several computer programmers working from home-one lives in Florida. Telework also provides staffing flexibility. America West Vacations, located in Phoenix, moved a group of agents home.
