About 20 years ago I watched a series of videos outlining the concept of telecommuting. I believe the material was based on studies from the University of Western Ontario. The bold claim of the study was, by the turn of the millennium most white-collar workers would be working from home.
An article published at InfoWorld shows that we are a long way from meeting the predictions of the mid 1980’s. We have, however, come a long way.
The study finds that 67 percent of HR managers believe that telecommuting likely will increase over the next two years.
Moreover, the study finds that 81 percent of companies already have remote work policies in place. Of the HR managers surveyed, 25% said that employees at their companies have the option of telecommuting from home. Another 13% can work from a satellite office. Nineteen percent have no telecommuting opportunities. The remaining 44% fall under the cryptic category of Other.
