Scheduling Chronicles

At one time it was predicted that telecommuting would be the primary way of working by the early 21st century. While the number of telecommuters is growing, adoption has certainly been slowed by management not buying into the benefits telework can produce based on their mistrust of their employees. Below is a great info graphic that outlines some of the facts on telecommuting.

One interesting “Potential Drawback” listed in the graphic was that employees needed to be tech savvy to be an efficient teleworker. IN the past this may have been true, but with the technology we have available to us today like The Cloud and SaaS, most of the software and data accessed in the office can be accessed the same way from anywhere else. So I would find it hard to consider your employees’ skills when it comes to technology a big deal. A bigger concern would be whether or not your organization has the right solutions and tools in place to facilitate telework.
