Telecommuting also provides nice rewards for employers as well. More often than not, employee productivity is increased. While this can be measured in many ways, most telecommuters would agree that because of their increased job satisfaction, and less distraction from the office, they are able to do more work in less time, and do it better. Companies also save money by allowing employees to telecommute, thus reducing travel costs in both time and money. Quite simply, it's not for everyone.
Some people enjoy driving to work.
Others need the physical separation between work and home. And still others can't focus with the distractions a home-office provides. Many people find it easier to concentrate seated in their cubicle with daily office operations going on all around them. Others can't work effectively without having other people around them, even if they never talk to anyone else in the office. Some people just can't be alone for an entire day.
