Check out a new study on the economic benefits of telework,
which has just been released by the Telework Consortium (http://www.teleworkconsortium.org).
The study, "An Economic Analysis of Telework: Social Benefit Estimates Based on
Commuting Cost and Tolls," was prepared by Dr. Anthony Yezer, professor at The
George Washington University Center for Economic Research.
The study may be found
here. (If you have any difficulty with this link, just go to
http://www.teleworkconsortium.org
and you will see the study featured in the left-hand column.) In-depth survey (PDF
format) of nearly 2000 teleworkers at BT finds that teleworking improves
work/life balance despite longer working hours. The survey, undertaken by UK
CEED's SustainIT initiative, forms part of the Centre's major European project
on sustainable teleworking (click here)
2002 Gallup poll
Conducted for Telia, this Gallup poll indicates sharp increase in
telecommuting. Over half of those with the opportunity to telecommute do it a
lot, and 93% say they telecommute more than before since they gained access to
broadband at home |
