10 Findings Barriers: seemed more unclear Not for everyone/every job (fairness) Might hurt career Policy issues Manager attitude/culture How to evaluate/measure Lack of benefit awareness 10

11 Findings A program to support telecommuting ting would: Educate What are the benefits to employers in particular? Support How to develop a policy? Select participants? Train/coach How to manage? Be a telecommuter? Address challenges and solutions. 11

17 ROWE Results Results Only Work Environment Deep impact on the business culture, operation and mindset of the management and personnel No schedules. People make choices about where and when work is done. Free to work where ever you want, when ever you want, as long as the work gets done.

18 Telework Telework (also known as telecommuting) is a business strategy and work process that enables employees to work from a remote location and be connected to the office and clients via technology internet, phone, and mobile devices 18

19 Telework Telework can be performed on a full or part-time time basis and is often complemented with flexible scheduling Seamless and transparent way of doing business with customers and coworkers Effective internal leadership is key for telework success 19

20 Telework Not for everyone, but ideal for employees who routinely use phone and computer Telework does not send people home so that you don t hear or see them regularly Not a substitute for child-care or elder-care Most often not a FT arrangement 20
