MANAGING THE TELECOMMUTING EMPLOYEE
Set Goals, Monitor Progress, and Maximize Profit and Productivity
In today’s business environment, telecommuting just makes sense—after all, it’s a great way to trim the budget, retain the best employees, and reduce the company’s eco-footprint. In fact, it’s estimated that in 2009 upwards of 21 million Americans will work via telecommuting. But what does this dramatic change mean for managers? In Managing the Telecommuting Employee: Set Goals, Monitor Progress, and Maximize Profit and Productivity (Adams Media; November) telecommuting experts Sandra Gurvis and Michael Amigoni show today’s managers that this change doesn’t have to be painful—in fact, it can be enjoyable, productive, profitable, and a great way to grow an organization.
