Although many people badly want to work from home, not
everyone wants to have to launch and run a fully-fledged
business of their own in order to do so. For such people
the desire to work from home is more about maximizing
time to be with family, physical location cheap air vapormax , comfort and
convenience than it is about entrepreneurship.

If this is you, telecommuting may be the answer you've been
looking for.

WHAT IS TELECOMMUTING EXACTLY?

For our purposes, telecommuting simply means an employee
is working from a location other than the employer's premises.
Usually it means the employee is working from home,
performing the same functions that he or she would otherwise
be doing in the employer's office.

ADVANTAGES OF TELECOMMUTING

The advantages of telecommuting are many.

=> For the Employee

For parents with young(ish) children cheap air max 95 , perhaps the greatest
benefit of telecommuting is the increased time available to
spend with family. Note, though, that one of the greatest myths
about telecommuting is that it means you can do away with
daycare. That's true for only a very few, very lucky individuals.
Instead cheap air max 97 , think in terms of time saved commuting to and from
your offsite job. THAT is the time you get back. Not your
entire working day.

Financial considerations are also a strong reason to work from
home. Think of what you can save on gas, clothing and eating
out.

Other advantages of telecommuting for employees include:

=> Improved productivity (fewer distractions and interruptions).
=> Helps balance work and family life.
=> Greater flexibility in hours and geographic location.
=> Recovery of commuting hours (just think what you could do
with the equivalent of over six working weeks a year, assuming you
commute an hour a day).
=> Fewer daytime home break-ins.
=> Environmental considerations (fewer cars on the road means
less pollution and fewer accidents).
=> Fairer performance appraisals (you're evaluated purely on the
quality of your work and your output, not merely the number of
hours clocked at the office).
=> Elimination of commuting aggravators (such as obnoxious
drivers cheap air max 90 , traffic snarls and other frustrations).
=> General stress reduction.
=> Improvement in morale, job satisfaction and motivation.
=> No need to relocate.
=> Can open work opportunities for the disabled.

=> For the Employer

Advantages for employers in allowing telecommuting include:
=> Saving of parking and office space costs.
=> Increases in employee productivity (20% on average).
=> Reduces absenteeism.
=> Reduces business interruptions due to natural emergencies
(if there's a snowstorm business still gets done by employees
at home).
=> The employer becomes an employer of choice, attracting
high quality employees.
=> Reduced staff turnover due to improveed job morale and
satisfaction.
=> An expanded pool of employee talent to choose from since
no geographical limitations are imposed.
=> In some states tax credits may be available.
=> No relocation costs to be paid on behalf of employees.
=> The whole office doesn't come down sick from one employee
spreading the flu.

DISADVANTAGES OF TELECOMMUTING

Of course, there are two sides to every coin and telecommuting
is no different cheap nike air max shoes , bringing its share of disadvantages for both
employee and employer, including:

=> For the Employee

=> Coworker envy (there may be some jobs in your organization
that don't lend themselves to telecommuting).
=> Reduced social interation with coworkers may lead to
professional isolation.
=> Possibly fewer promotional opportunities (out of sight, out
of mind).
=> Potential for longer hours (try and keep work and personal
time separate).
=> Reduced IT support (who's going to fix your computer?).
=> Potential for distractions (young children, TV cheap air max shoes , refrigerator).
=> Too-frequent fridge and coffee breaks.
=> Can become a work addict.
=> For the Employer
=> Morale problems in staff holding positions not suited to
telecommuting.
=> Startup operating costs (equipment, training etc.).
=> IT support costs.
=> Management resistance and skepticism (who needs
suspicious, distrustful managers as employees though, right?).
=> Difficulties in coordinating and monitoring performance of
remote workers.
=> Security of information and files when allowing remote
workers access to company computer systems.
=> Employee health and safety issues.
=> Can disrupt teamwork and organizational culture.

The advantages and disadvantages for individual employees
and employers will vary case by case. Both you and your
employer need to weigh the above factors when deciding
whether telecommuting is a viable option in your particular
circumstances.
