TeleWork

Telecommuting technology began as a link between satellite or branch offices and the computer mainframe of companies in the early 1970s. Over the years it expanded to meet the demands of flexi-time or work-at-home jobs that did not require the worker to report or travel to the office on a daily basis. Today, the growth of telecommuting technology has improved so much so that people are hired on the basis of output and not physical presence. As a result of this kind of job scenario, output and work satisfaction ratings increased tremendously because it allowed for people to work in a setting they are most comfortable with. With telecommuting, the equipment needed are a computer, phone, and an...

Car insurance companies absolutely love telecommuters. What makes telecommuters so special?

People who put more miles on their...

Home technology is more important than ever when your home is also your office. As a telecommuter, your computer is the capital that allows you to labor productively, and it is important to take care of it by using technology that is appropriate and efficient. Perhaps the most important part of this is selecting an internet provider that will meet your home business needs. You want to look for speed, bandwidth, availability, and usability. From the first moment when looking for a provider, you can basically toss dial-up out the window. Think about it; the word telecommute shares an obvious root with the word telephone. This would seem to imply that when you work from home, your telephone is a vital...

Doubtlessly, you've seen them around town: the roving employee, the freelancer, the telecommuter, downing a cup of coffee in some cafe while pecking away on a laptop computer. For many people nowadays, going to work doesn't necessarily mean going to the office. It may be a blogger, a reporter, or even a real estate agent. The telecommute is definitely 'in." With businesses cutting back on office space and computer costs, the desire for telecommuting is definitely a two-way street.

Chances are your husband is a working dad who wants more time with his family, even as he fills the role of provider. Yet men, more than women, are under societal and financial pressure to work full time. That means job sharing or other part-time options are less-accepted and rarely used among men. And the otherwise viable full-time work option of a compressed workweek (four, 10-hour days) may be a tough sell if 10-hour days, five days a week, are the cultural work norm in his department. So mom, encourage your husband to seriously consider asking his manager for a telecommuting arrangement instead. Show him this article to get the process started. (It applies to working mothers, too.) Are You a...

My accountant works from her home. She has clients come into her house every day during tax season. She also has a trained guard dog that has had to hold off violent clients on at least two separate occasions. But how can women with jobs at home stay safe? Well, one thing is for sure, the best work at home jobs as far as safety is concerned are the ones that allow you to have contact with clients by phone or by e-mail instead of having them come to your house or apartment.
