The workday is getting longer and more stressful. Parents are away from home up to 12 hours a day. Employees are forced to spend hard-earned salaries on power wardrobes. They commute long distances at the expense of their pocketbook, their safety and the environment.
Telecommuting changes everything
What is telecommuting? Basically, using technology and alternate forms of communication to facilitate work from a remote office. It moves work to the people, rather than people to the work. Home computers, the Internet, e-mail, phones, faxes, overnight mail and conference calling have made it possible. Jack Nilles, founder and president of JALA International, a telecommuting consulting firm, predicts that 24.7 million workers will be telecommuting by the year 2000.

Telecommuters report less stress, more comfortable clothing, more flexible hours and fewer workplace distractions. They also report disadvantages. Some workers are distracted by the home environment, feel isolated and fear they are overlooked for promotions. With 24-hour access to the office, some overwork themselves. Meanwhile, employers worry about loss of control, extra expenses and lack of focus. Both sides turn to the Web for support, peer groups, solutions and strategies.
