Telecommuting
or Tele-Working
Many companies allow their workers to work at home during the
business day rather than travel into a regular office. Telecommuting or
teleworking can help reduce transportation energy costs dramatically
because workers do not travel to and from home to their offices
As computer technologies and "broadband" connections to the Internet
get faster, telecommuting has become more common. A worker can be at
home or in a close-by satellite office and be able to connect into their
company's e-mail system, share information with co-workers, and even
transfer their telephone calls to a distant location.
Workers can also communicate in person to their co-workers right from
their computers via instant messaging, or small digital cameras and
microphones. As the bandwidth issues of the Internet are increased and
technology improves, more and more people will be able to actually hear
and see the other person via computer connections.
If you are interested in telecommuting, ask your company's personnel
or human resources office to see if they offer such a program. |
