Telework. There's No Place Like Home.
Meet Telework Tech
Telework Tech is the wise crack'n computer and tech expert of the team who, with his collection of Hawaiian shirts, is truly the definition of the word "relaxed". When he is not on the clock, he can be found surfing the net, updating his online blog, or playing video games. He is the member of the team most likely to be late to a meeting at headquarters, or fixing chocolate chip pancakes during a conference call. Although he likes to play, Tech is a genius and his contributions to the team are extremely valuable; he is a whiz when it comes to putting Telework programs in place and making them work.
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.
