Telecommuting is still alive! Embrace it?

Some say telecommuting is the key to better job satisfaction, stress-free living, and higher supervisor ratings. However, is this still alive? Well of course. Would you embrace it?

Some experts speculate a better supervisor relationship can be in play with telecommuting, and thus may contribute to much better job satisfaction/security. With it growing big time over the past few years, it has shown to be a great contributor to keeping workers happy, lowering employer costs, and saving commute time!

Working at Home? Structure your day well

Technology workforces all across the world are doing remote work opportunities for employees, which can help boost employees morale, and create better products. However, if not done right, working at home can become a major problem for some companies. For some companies, Yahoo! for example, have chosen not to do remote work for its potential risks on payroll, marketing, and company morale.

Now, let me stop right there. There's a difference between company morale and employee morale. Some companies want the morale of the business to be better than the morale of employees. Other companies have it the other way around. Many speak that if you treat your employees well, they'll create better products. However, others speak that if you successfully lead a company, then employee morale won't matter very much.

Back on topic...remote work is something almost every employee would love, however, it does have ways to make a person lazy, repeat project problems, and cause other issues. But, we want to focus on how to structure your day well, when working from home.

Being more flexible is the biggest benefit of working from home. So, rule #1, always be flexible!
