Kate Lister is the executive director and principal investigator of the Telework Research Network. She has over 20 years of experience working from home and researching telework. Her organization has conducted over 250 studies on telework and published savings calculators to quantify the benefits of telework for employers, employees, and communities. Telework can provide significant savings related to real estate, absenteeism, turnover, productivity, oil consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and traffic congestion. However, telework also faces challenges in management attitudes, security concerns, and costs. Models for successful telework promotion include tax credits and grants from government agencies.
Telecommuting, also known as teleworking, is defined as replacing a daily commute to a central workplace with telecommunication links. It is commonly used in fields like data processing, management, IT, insurance, and for freelancers and accountants. Current trends include distributed work, virtual offices, coworking and microjobs. The advantages are avoiding long commutes, employee freedom, and potential energy conservation. However, drawbacks include distractions at home, increased risk of data loss, feelings of isolation, less chances of promotion, and potential scams.
The document discusses techniques, practices, and policies around telecommuting based on a presentation given by Paul Gray at a CIO breakfast round table. It defines telecommuting and outlines its history. Some key findings from research on telecommuting over the last 35 years are that it can increase productivity, save companies money, help the environment, and act as an incentive to attract and retain workers. However, telecommuting requires careful planning and management. Technology advances now make telecommuting easier, but security and employee engagement must still be addressed.

Virtual work is on the rise. Consumer-driven unified communications services are changing the landscape of the workplace and giving the jobforce the power to work from anywhere in the world. Virtual tools and UC solutions are making the days of a traditional workplace with centrally located employees a thing of the past for most businesses.
Equipped with a UC solution, employees can use the Internet to power real-time communications capabilities, including voice, instant messaging and web collaboration, and to hold meeting with audio and web conferencing tools. The agility of employee-driven communications can have a positive effect on both performance and job satisfaction.
Momentum did some research and compiled the most interesting data as a business case for telecommuting. Here’s what we found:
Telecommuting allows employees to work from home instead of commuting to an office, using telecommunications technologies like phones, faxes, and the internet to transmit work and participate in meetings remotely. It enables employees to work while traveling or on vacation, and some companies allow telecommuting to help employees balance work and personal responsibilities or reduce office space needs.
A survey of 311 decision makers and office workers found the following about telecommuting:
- The top reasons for wanting to telecommute were transportation savings, work-life balance, and green benefits. Younger generations cited work-life balance as most important while older workers prioritized transportation savings.
- Telecommuters said their biggest challenges were IT issues like poor VPN connections and lack of training on data security. Employers also reported frequent connectivity problems among telecommuters.
- While telecommuting was an important consideration for most workers when considering new jobs, they were willing to sacrifice some perks and benefits to maintain telecommuting options. Both workers and employers saw benefits like improved work-life balance and
This document discusses the pros and cons of telecommuting. It begins by noting that telecommuting has existed for over a century in some forms. It then provides examples of how telecommuting can be implemented by giving a worker remote access to a company's network. The rest of the document outlines the positives and negatives of telecommuting, including having more discretionary time but also potential isolation. It emphasizes that telecommuting requires managing distractions, perceptions of others, and maintaining work-life balance.

Social Business Innovation & Legacy SystemsJane Young
A journey through the legacy systems that destroy value in our organisations - from email overload and endless meetings, to fear culture and wheel reinvention.
Teleworking has become more common as organizations aim to reduce costs and support remote work. However, teleworking presents challenges including distance from colleagues, disconnect from in-person discussions, and fatigue from relying solely on audio connections. Recent advances in video technology have helped solve issues by allowing teleworkers to have face-to-face interactions over HD video and improved audio, creating a more engaging experience.
Whatever makes employers so resistant to the growing phenomena that is teleworking, it’s likely that many of their fears are based on myths. In this presentation Telework Recruiting addresses several of these common myths and helps reveal the facts behind them.

The cloud is revolutionising how business is done nowadays as BYOD, remote working, mobility and security are becoming increasingly important.
In this presentation, we look at how technology has evolved over the years and how businesses can make the most of these changes.
The document discusses trends towards more flexible work-life models, including working remotely and anywhere via mobile devices. By 2020, work will be less defined by location and more focused on results. Technologies like tablets, smartphones, and cloud computing are enabling new modes of flexible and mobile work by blurring boundaries between work and personal life. This brings challenges around maintaining work-life balance but also opportunities to be more productive and leverage individual strengths.

This document discusses how social media and internet technologies are transforming human resources practices and organizational culture. It notes that by 2015, forces like globalization, cloud computing, virtualization, and the millennial generation will be central to most organizations. Younger workers expect constant communication and real-time feedback, while virtual collaboration allows for more flexible work arrangements. This shifts beliefs, values, and individual behaviors within companies. The expansion of social networks and user-generated content also allows employees new ways to represent themselves and engage with potential employers.
The document discusses cloud computing and contains information from multiple sources, including:
- A definition and brief history of cloud computing including early companies in 2006-2008.
- Examples of how cloud computing is used for storage, convenience, and on smartphones and computers.
- Characteristics of cloud computing like low costs, scalability, and device independence but also risks like security issues.
- Results of a survey on cloud computing familiarity and usage for homework, information searching, and chatting.
- A conclusion that cloud computing brings convenience but has issues to improve like privacy, security and costs.
Drones will become more ubiquitous in the next 20 years, ranging in size from small personal drones to large armed drones. They will be used for applications like security, traffic control, agriculture, and news media. Civilian drone use will likely be restricted by new legislation requiring pilot licenses. Swarms of drones may complete tasks independently without human operators in the future through improved robotics and artificial intelligence.
The document discusses disruptive technology theory. It defines a disruptive technology as one that displaces an established technology and transforms an industry. Harvard professor Clayton Christensen coined the term and categorized new technologies as either sustaining or disruptive. Disruptive technologies lack refinement initially and appeal to a limited audience but may eventually displace existing technologies. Examples provided include the personal computer displacing typewriters, Windows enabling personal computing, email displacing letters, and cell phones disrupting telecoms.
Telework is an emerging trend globally, with an estimated 100 million teleworkers by 2022 in the US alone. It provides benefits to both businesses and employees, including increased productivity and cost savings. However, some obstacles need to be addressed, such as lack of trust in remote employees, ensuring collaboration and interaction, implementing proper technology and security measures, and changing outdated management approaches. Overcoming these roadblocks will help more organizations realize the benefits of remote work.

IT Agility How to Enable Workforce and Workspace TtransformationBen Turner
This document summarizes Dr. Joseph Sweeney's presentation on enabling workforce and workspace transformation through IT agility. The presentation discusses how digital workspaces can act as a platform to bring together human work, machines, tasks and environments. It argues that while many underestimate the impact of automation, 40% of today's jobs are at risk and the effects will be deeper than replacing jobs alone. The presentation also emphasizes that innovation comes from incremental improvements by everyone, and that ICT's role is to enable this through consulting, empowering business leads and automating processes.
This document provides tips on how organizations can get better value from their IT investments and spending. It discusses evaluating current IT spending and functions, outsourcing non-core IT activities, moving to cloud-based solutions, standardizing equipment and software, and focusing on people-based activities to improve processes and productivity with IT. The key messages are that organizations should review legacy systems and processes, consider outsourcing, leverage new technologies like cloud computing and mobile working, and focus on training staff and using IT to enable improvements rather than just reducing costs.

Notes de l'éditeur
The macro economy, environmental mandates, traffic congestion, rising fuel prices, demands for work-life balance and the need for companies to get closer to customers are all factors that are driving new working patterns. A more flexible approach to the way people work and the way organisations operate is leading to greater productivity and cost savings on office space, facilities and services. Also, staff members are more likely to enjoy improved job satisfaction, thus helping organisations in their eternal fight to attract and retain people. Whilst flexible working makes good business sense it can also be the sign of a forward thinking organisation which can be very attractive to potential employees when deciding where they wish to work. In some cases it is seen as a benefit and a sign that the organisation trusts it’s employees to do their best work where they chose.
Coming together of people, place and technology/Anywhere Working represents a new way of working that goes beyond traditional flexible working and embraces new work styles. It is designed to encourage organisations to free their people to work in the ways which allow them to be most productive and measure them by outputs not inputs. Whether this is empowering them through innovative and flexible workplace design, or supporting them via a range of technologies and tools that help them to do their jobs more effectively.
The success of Olympics 2012, where London coped with an influx of visitors by asking employers to move working hours or let staff work from home, was an endorsement that flexible working works. Also there is an abundant opportunity to make better use of our high-streets, empty shops, moribund pubs, libraries and other sites, reinventing them as ‘third spaces’ that let workers plug in, connect and collaborate.We were supposed to have gridlock:Over 62M journeys on London’s transport network during the OlympicsA record 4.57M tube journeys on 7th August35% changed travel behaviour on any given day82% of people surveyed thought transport network performed wellHow it worked:Re-time 46% worked flexibly to avoid peak hoursRe-mode 38% found other forms of travel such as cyclingRe-route 29% worked from other offices Reduce non-essential travel, 42% worked from homeThe Legacy:17% said they would continue working from other locations28% would continue to work flexible hours27% will continue to support working from homeTfL Partnership with Travel Operators, Businesses and Councils key to organisationBut…Majority of businesses don’t have a formal policy for teleworking34% of businesses experienced a decrease in sales51% saw no change in salesRetail and hospitality sector most affected“The greatest legacy is our Partnerships with business, travel operators and councils, to ensure the smooth running of commerce during The Games.”Peter Hendy CBECommissioner, Transport for London“Freight accounts for 25% of weekday traffic in central London…33% of deliveries were re-timed to night time during The Games.”Hugh BishamManaging Director Real Estate UKIN, DHL“Over 20% of our deliveries were made out of hours…noise was kept to a minimum and suppliers liked efficiency.

When most people think about Flexible Working they think about working from home. In reality, whilst there are many good reasons for allowing employees the ability to work from home, there are more still who would benefit from the ability to work whilst on the move. The notion that works is something you do not a place you go. This opens up the opportunity to take advantage of the many transient hubs we find around us where meetings and work can be conducted. Flexibility of where you chose to carry out work leads to the biggest gains in personal productivity and wellbeing.
To reiterate, flexible working mean is not synonymous with working from home?The concept of Anywhere Working is not to suggest that everyone works from home all of the time; quite the opposite in fact! Instead, we are joining forces to highlight ways in which people can work from whichever location they choose, in order to put them more in control and determine where and when they are most productive. This will be a variety of locations and times, depending on what needs doing and who workers are engaging with – colleagues, partners, customers or on their own. The thought of working from home all of the time could be quite a negative factor for some employees, just as some complain that working a rigid 9 – 5 structure from a single office can be unproductive, inefficient and restrictive to the realities of modern life. Instead, the fact that they can work from home – or the office, or a coffee shop, or a customer’s office, etc. – as and when appropriate, should give them the flexibility they need. It’s also worth noting that the tools and technology alone are not the answer. To truly embrace Anywhere Working, organisations must embark upon cultural change. The effective management of people is critical to making this work. Fundamentally, however, we believe that being productive absolutely involves time away from work so that when you are working, you are focused and being most effective. The blurring of our personal and professional lives has led to challenges in managing the balance; Anywhere Working can help to address those challenges to better deal with things like child care, disruptive events and travel requirements.
According to a new study on flexible working commissioned by Microsoft, a massive 70 per cent of office workers say they can get ‘more done’ working away from the office and critically over one third (38 per cent) say they can be more creative when they are able to work flexibly. Despite this, the research commissioned for the Anywhere Working Consortium suggests that flexible working is being held back by cultural barriers related to trust, with employees concerned about how colleagues perceive them when not working in the office, and a feeling that flexible working is only about ‘working from home’.According to findings of the study, nearly three quarters (73 per cent) of the UK workforce believe there is a lack of trust within their organisation that remote workers will work ‘as hard’ as office-based staff. This was identified as the biggest barrier to anywhere working, with not having access to the right technology cited by just 24 per cent as an issue.To coincide with Anywhere Working Week the Ipsos MORI study of UK office workers revealed that when working away from the office, employees tend to overcompensate in order to quash colleague’s negative perceptions. Nearly half (47 per cent) make a conscious attempt to be extra visible by sending more emails and making more phone calls. Almost one in three (30 per cent) feel guilty about not being in the office, with nearly one in four (39 per cent) working longer hours to prove they are not ‘shirking from home’.Yet, despite these challenges, the benefits of flexible work-styles can bring to businesses are clearly understood. More than 9 out of 10 people surveyed (92 per cent) were unconcerned about being distracted or less productive when away from the office. A similar number, (90 per cent) stated working away from the office ‘makes no difference’ in terms of collaborating with colleagues.Similarly, the main drivers and motivators for anywhere working are focused around productivity and concentrating on getting work done, rather than reacting to travel issues, illness or company demands. Surprisingly, only 22 per cent cited childcare as the main reason for working away from the office. This challenges perceptions around the main reasons why employees tend to work away from the office and goes against many flexible working policies which promote flexible work-styles as a means of accommodating parent’s responsibilities. Dave Coplin, Chief Envisaging Officer at Microsoft comments: “People don’t need to be shackled to their desks to be productive or to collaborate with their colleagues. Work should be a thing you do not a place you go. Flexible working is more about choosing a location that best suits your requirements to get the job done. This can mean working from a variety of locations during the day, be that on the move, a shared knowledge hub, a coffee shop, a remote office or at home if need be.”Philip Ross, CEO of workplace consultancy, UnWork.com comments: “The research indicates that when people are away from the office, they may well be more productive but feel paranoid they are viewed as absent and so do their best to be as visible as possible. There is a risk that workers will prioritise presenteeism over effectiveness and this won’t be the right approach for them or the organisations that employ them. The conversation should be about the work we do and how and where we can be most productive. Arguing about which single location is best misses the point entirely.”The study was carried out in March 2013 by Ipsos MORI of a representative UK sample of 1,000 office workers. It was commissioned by Microsoft on behalf of the Anywhere Working Consortium. The second annual Anywhere Working Week will take place from March 18-22, and will involve a multi-city campaign to encourage businesses to review the way people work and to promote the benefits of flexible work-styles.
We know that technology is at the centre of changing attitudes to what constitutes “the workplace.” Enabling technologies such as cloud-based services, the increasing number of Wi-Fi hotspots, the consumerisation of technology and the growing acceptance of bring-your-own-device schemes in offices means that the “place” where you can now work is both varied and numerous.
Although there are certain disruptive events such as the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games that act as a catalyst to behavioral change, we believe that the way businesses operate and measure performance is changing. The long-term goal of the initiative is to encourage a more permanent shift in the approach to work with an increase in the number of businesses and employees utilising (and benefiting from) anywhere working methods. Anywhere Working represents a new way of working that goes beyond traditional flexible working and embraces new work styles. It is designed to encourage organisations to free their people to work in the ways which allow them to be most productive and measure them by outputs not inputs. Whether this is empowering them through innovative and flexible workplace design, or supporting them via a range of technologies and tools that help them to do their jobs more effectively.
