According to Salzmann, the world is moving in that direction. In other words, the number of individuals who work from their home, known as teleworkers, is growing. You can rule out some of the more obvious ones that are not well suited, such as the receptionist, the file clerk and the custodian.
Some people are naturals for telecommuting either as the employee or as the supervisor.
They intuitively understand how to adjust and still get results. And finding the people who can handle it is likewise critical, according to Borowski. Lots of people want to telecommute but really don't appreciate the discipline that they will need to exercise over themselves, their schedule, family and others. Borowski believes that advances in technology have solved some of the challenges with regard to telecommuting. New technology is great for this area.
