2. Teleworking?
O It means giving the employees the
freedom to work and produce from
anywhere and at any time.

3. With vs Against
O While Yahoo and Google have taken a
stance against teleworking,
O Intel and Microsoft have come out in full
support of the issue.

4. Question
O Should businesses rethink their approach
on allowing employees to work outside of
the office?

5. Technology
O As technology advancements make
working away from the desk much easier,
teleworking seems like the way of the
future.

6. Google
O Google caters lunch for staff every day at
the office, only as an idea with ulterior
motive.
O They do it because they want to keep
employees in the office and at their
desks.

7. Google Reason
O Google thinks it is important for their
employees to be able to see each other in
the office to share new and innovative
ideas.

8. Yahoo Reason
O Yahoo's recent ban on teleworking : Staff
that work away from the office being
perceived as not as productive due to the
lack of supervision.

9. Federal Government Stand
O The Federal government has been a big
supporter of teleworking. Even startups
are getting together and working outdoors
these days. Is freeing employees from
their cubicle prisons really all that bad?

10. Size Matters
O With over 91,500 employees around the
world and a robust bring-your-own-device
(BYOD) program, Intel is a big supporter
of remote working.

11. Intel Reason
O The more Intel can accommodate for
people's lifestyles, the better, and if we
can provide them with tools to work
effectively wherever they are, we will.
O Around 85 percent of Intel's staff work
from a mobile device, be it notebooks or
tablets

12. Microsoft Perspective
O We expect people to get their jobs
done, not that they need to be at a
particularly place, or do it at a particular
time,
O When you're looking at global
organisations, finding ways to connect
people so there is a sense of community
among those people is really important.

14. Question
O How many of you think that people work
harder simply because they are being
watched?

15. Conclusion
O Ideas can flourish in group
environments, But when mobile
devices, complete are at the disposal of
companies willing to trust their employees
to work effectively from anywhere in the
world, this would definitely increase
productivity.
