Telework. There’s No Place Like Home.

Teleworking means working away from a central workplace, either at home or another alternate work location, all or part of the week. A telework program gives selected employees and managers the option of working off-site on a full-time, part-time, or even temporary basis.

How formal or informal your telework arrangement is depends on your company and employee needs. Some teleworking arrangements require nothing more than a phone line, while others involve a full home office setup. How simple a telework arrangement is depends on the company's business needs.

Benefits of Teleworking:

• Productivity. According to the International Telework Association and Council, on average, teleworking yields a 22% increase in employee productivity.
• Continuity. A key component in developing a business continuity plan in the event of bad weather, a pandemic, or any other crisis that closes the central office location for any period of time.
• Sustainability. Enhanced green business practices with fewer cars on the road.
• Quality of life. Enhanced work/life balance.
