Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between the employees home and
the offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data
and typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machines can
communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office
computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that
there are approximately 8.7 million people telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business week published
The Portable Executive as its cover story a few years ago. Why has not telecommuting become
more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part
of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in the large work
force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are
not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to
accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with group, and many are
concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more
visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a
work area they never really get away from the offices.
