Telework, sometimes know as telecommuting, enables agile companies to increase productivity, save costs, and keep key employees.

What is telework?

Telework the practice of working in a location outside of the main office. A teleworker could do their job in a home office, on the road, in a hotel, at a customer site, or any other place that makes sense.

Telework can be done part-time, full-time, or when traveling. Some teleworkers have a regularly scheduled time for working remotely, while others do so only on an as-needed basis.
Some job functions are not appropriate for telework, but most can be done remotely at least occasionally. Ideal telework tasks are those that require a computer, uninterrupted time, or telephone activities. Often, telework is possible for most employees with just a little bit of advanced planning.

In 2001, over 31 million employees in the U.S. teleworked at least part-time. This represents a significant 25% of the adult workforce.(1)
