Will Telecommuting Gain Currency at Workplace?
Organisations have traditionally followed a workplace
model – a place where employees come to work
But with rapid urbanisation, and improvement in
technology, a lot has changed over the years..
In most metros and tier 1 cities, the usual average
commute time to workplace is not less than an hour
As a Randstad survey summed it up: “Work is no longer
about going somewhere, but about getting things done.”
With improvement in technology, mobile devices such as smartphones &
laptops can keep people connected even if they are not at their offices..
Internet Telephony and Web Conferencing practically
eliminates the need for physical presence at the workplace
The term “Telecommuting” is being used to refer to
carrying out work using mobility devices.
Skype is a tool that is widely used for
video conferencing among colleagues..
Telecommuting offers several advantages to both
employees and corporates which could help its
case in organisations adopting this model..

Advantages of Telecommuting include:
B Reduces Overheads
C Reduces Employee Dissatisfaction
D Improves Productivity
E Support Women Staff
A Socially Isolating
Limitations of Telecommuting:
B Perceived Loss in Career Progression
C Potential Rise in Family Conflict
