Telecommuting: The Wave of the Future

Telecommuting: The Wave of the Future

I work from home, but I am not alone. Today, there is a rapidly growing
number of Americans who are discovering the joys and comforts of being
able to work from home. In fact, many companies are offering their
employees the incentive to work from home while giving them health
benefits and other incentives such as gym memberships, childcare expenses,
company cars and more.

Telecommuting is not for everyone, however. In certain situations,
people find that they are not able to make telecommuting work to their
advantage because they lack the structure and discipline that is required
for such a business venture. Yes, it is true that when you work from home,
it gives you more flexibility to wake up when you want to in the morning
and lounge around in your night clothes all day if you want to. As long
as you get the work done and are doing a quality job, no one cares what
you look like because no one can see you. It's not like an office job
where you have to worry about getting up at a certain time in the morning
so that you'll be able to beat the morning traffic to get to the office
on time. Additionally, many office jobs have a specific dress code, which
means that you may or may not have to take more time out of your
morning routine to pick out an outfit,do your hair, etc.

Telecommuting, in most cases, also saves employees and employers more
money than it would if they had an office. How is this? If you think about it,
when a business owner owns a business, they have the choice to rent out
an office building space. When you rent out an office space, you have to pay
a certain amount of money per month (or whatever the agreement is) to a
landlord; and this amount of money doesn't even include the amount of money
that you would have to pay for utilities such as water, sewer, electric,
telephone, cable/Internet and whatever else your particular business would
require.

When you work from home or telecommute, however, employers/business
owners typically wind up saving a significantly greater amount of money
because a) they can write part of their home off in their taxes and b) they are
saving money in all of the overhead that they would have, otherwise, had
to pay if they were renting out an office space. If employees or employers
ever need to meet, they can typically do so at a local coffee shop (provided
they live in the same area) or the employer and the employee can host a
teleconference using video software or by just using a telephone. If a
business owner needs to meet with a potential client, usually, the business
owner will travel to the client. In the event that the client wants to meet
up with the business owner, the business owner can rent out an office space
for the day or for a few hours.
