In addition, prospective telecommuters need to make sure they know how to work, install and repair the computer, software, and communications equipment that they'll take home. The fifth step is a two week pilot program to see how both the employee and manager like working by themselves, communicating exclusively via telephone and e-mail. Definition of Telecommuting Telecommuting is using telecommunications technology to replace traditional forms of commuting. Employees work all or part of the time outside the traditional office at remote work locations, which may include the home. The work goes to the worker, rather than the worker to the work.
People work where they are the most effective.
The Sacramento TMA has files of reports on pilot programs and Policies and Procedures that have been developed at companies where a telework program is in place.
