The Latest In Remote And Virtual Office Strategies For Teleworking & Telecommuting
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Deerfield Beach, FL - August, 2002 - More than 30 million American employees work beyond the four walls of the traditional office. Theyre teleworkers, and theyre changing the nature of work - for themselves, their co-workers, their managers, and their families.
The events of September 11 and their impact on telework cannot be ignored. Millions
of square feet of Lower Manhattan office space were destroyed or rendered unusable, leaving companies and their workers to find an alternative workplace. Home, for many became - and remains - the answer.
As of 2002, some 46% of all workers are employed by companies that allow flexible
work schedules, and some 63% of those workers work a flexible schedule at least once a
week, notes research firm Yankelovich.
Written by the U.S. Small Business Administrations 2001 Small Business Journalist
of the Year - Jeff Zbar - the new book, Teleworking & Telecommuting, reveals how to create effective, alternative office programs that deliver efficient, productive and
satisfied workers.
A sampling of topics include: selecting the best candidates for a telework program;
employing a variety of virtual office techniques -such as home and remote officing, hoteling and telework centers; keeping mobile workers and remote teams connected across time and distance; creating a safe, ergonomic home office, including Internet and physical security; tips from home-based entrepreneurs who also work from the road;
officing alternatives in times of crisis; the Telework Aptitude Test to see if youre a
candidate for remote work; and much more.
