“If you think you can do a thing or you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” – Henry Ford
Is your company telecommute-ready? Listen to people talk:
“You have to be face-to-face to do business.”
“Strong teams have to be co-located.”
“A good business relationship begins with a handshake.”
“You can’t hide behind all that email stuff. You have to be there.”
Sure, telecommuting saves employees money. It saves employers business travel costs and some of the costs of providing office space. It reduces pollution. It saves commute time, which employees most commonly use to do more work. It improves work/life balance, employee satisfaction, and retention.
