This alternative alleviates travel problems all week long, with the advent of unconventional commute times and one weekday off. It's revolutionary, but it works. Telecommuting Telecommuting is the newest concept in commute alternatives. With the consent of management, this program allows certain categories of employees to work from their home on computer terminals or from a satellite office closer to the employee's home. This method proves to be a viable alternative for employees who rely heavily upon computer interaction to complete their daily tasks, like engineers, designers, and even some sales professionals.
Telecommuting is a novel approach to be contemplated by the more progressive employers.
But in making a decision regarding this alternative, it is important to know that the telecommuting alternative has been directly linked to greater employee job satisfaction and increased productivity. In addition, greater cost savings can be realized by the employer who, as a result, has less need for parking and office space at the work facility.
