What Is Telecommuting?

Next » « Previous

3/12

As its name implies, telecommuting is “commuting” to work by means of instant communication rather than physically going to the employer’s office. Telecommuting utilizes modern technology such as the telephone, computer, internet, video, e-mail, fax machine, and related products and services. Together they enable the set-up at home of a fully functioning satellite office which can be linked to an employer, suppliers and customers.

Telecommuting can be done from home or other locations. For example, some companies have established telecommuting hubs close to employees’ homes that allow employees to work closer to home, avoiding a long commute.

Some individuals telecommute while traveling full time – essentially relocating their “office” on a regular basis, as they go from place to place.
