greater gap in
productivity and
interactivity.

Despite
studies

home-based
workers may

productive
than their

peers, remote
workers must

the
perceptions

colleagues
that they're

A significant
drawback of

that workers

Sixty-one
percent of
more than
1,300
executives
from 71
countries
believe
workers who
telecommute
have a lesser
chance of
advancing in
their career,
even though
more than
one-third of
those
executives
noted that
telecommuter
s are more
productive
than workers
in traditional
office
settings.

The Southern
California
Association of

that, a
worker is
more likely to
telecommute
if he or she is
over 30, is
Caucasian,
has a college
degree, has at
least one other
adult in the
house hold,
and works for
an employer
with a formal
telecommutin
g program.

For
organizations
considering
allowing
workers, or
some workers,
to have the
option to

knowing their

demographics
is an important
consideration,
if findings
from a recent

order to,
explore how
far a vast

If a critical

environments
, the potential
benefits may
not be worth
the required
investment

In order to
improve the
potential of
success for
teleworking,
all who are
involved must
be armed with
a full set of
tools; relevant

A driving
factor for such

because of
