Regardless of how we do work, there are always challenges to overcome. That's the nature of work. And the challenges telework introduces are far outweighed by its benefits...
Re: "You should get on top of who in the workforce is already working from home and who would like to"
- Joining forces and supporting each other is what will really push telework forward. Technology is the tool, but people are the validation.
Telework has been debated for decades now. It's exciting to see it quickly increasing as a way to get things done. And that means that our policies should change too. If a company doesn't have a telework policy in place yet, that policy should include the ability to adjust as needed. Broadband access, for instance, has spread quickly over a few short years. Five year old policies may even be outdated.
Re: "Find the pockets of telecommuting support"
- If you can't find the support in your own organization, look externally. The IT crowd is full of telework advocates, and we want to help! I'm happy to help teleworkers and companies that want to reap the benefits of teleworking. Find me at: http://www.telesaur.com and on Twitter as @telesaur
