Travel agent Rebecca Russo, who has been an agent for almost 20 years, now works from home for Willow Glen's Peak Travel Group. She says telecommuting gives her more time to spend with her two sons. After she drops off her two sons off at elementary school, Rebecca Russo heads to work. Her office is like any other office, except it's in the living room of her West San Jose home, where she works as a travel agent for Willow Glen's Peak Travel Group.
Some people can only dream of getting to work by walking down the hall.
But about a dozen travel agents at Peak Travel, including Russo, get to do just that. Peak Travel owner and president Tyler Peak introduced telecommuting to his downtown Willow Glen business more than three years ago. It has worked so well that now more than 10 percent of his employees work from home. But it's relatively unique. We adapt to the needs of good employees.
