From the supplier: Telecommuting is becoming a viable alternative to traditional work arrangements in recruiting and maintaining a quality workforce. In the 1990s, increasing non-work demands upon workers necessitates more flexible work designs. Telecommuting refers to a system wherein employees do most of their work at home or off-site, while reporting to the main office only a few times per week. This definition covers about 100,000 workers in the United States. A survey of telecommuters in 11 firms from a wide range of industries reveals the level of satisfaction telecommuters experience regarding their working arrangements. The questionnaire included sections on productivity, promotions, supervisory support, and other evaluative areas. The respondents revealed that communication, interaction, family and supervisory support toward telecommuters determine their levels of confidence and job satisfaction.
