Telecommuting If you decide to try telecommuting, you clearly have a great deal of company. A recent survey suggested that some 11 million people work from home at least several days per month.
Most forecasts show that number rising rapidly in the next few years.
The powerful forces driving the telecommuting phenomenon are not likely to be stopped. Telecommuting is the act of working away from the conventional workplace while maintaining communication with it via computer-based technology. Here we are addressing people who perform the same type of activities at an alternative work site as they would perform in their traditional office. The first two are similar except that the neighborhood centers house employees from more than one organization while satellite centers only include employees from one company. Here we are highlighting the most common form of telecommuting - working at home.
