Telecommuters are less likely to use sick days for their own minor illnesses. And even employees without children can find it difficult to even get to the office. These interruptions play havoc with deadlines and deliverables. Organizations with tele-commuting programs in place, are much less affected by the weather. Telecommuting has been embraced in hundreds of organizations in a wide range of industries.
Telecommuting is a valuable management strategy for improving the effectiveness of any organization.
