Telecommuting

Teleworking allows employees to work from home or another off-site location either part-time or on a full-time basis. Employees are "hooked" up to the office usually by computer, fax and telephone. 

Benefits of teleworking include: Increased employee productivity by eliminating the hassles of driving to and from the office; savings for employers on office space and parking costs; reduced absenteeism; recruitment and retention of skilled employees; improved customer service; reduced traffic congestion and improved air quality.
