Making The Right Telecommuting Choice
If your dream is to telecommute, you’re not alone. Surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor suggest that one in three of us would rather earn our paychecks from the comfort of our homes. Just because you won't be driving to a company location doesn’t mean telework will be a breeze. Selecting the right home-based job that matches your skills and your interests will ensure continued success in your career.
Depending on your situation, you may be considering evolving your current position into a telecommuting job, or you may be searching for a new career that you can start at home. According to a recent poll by the William Olsten Center for Workforce Strategies, nearly 50% of U.S. companies allow some form of flexible work plan for their employees.

You are absolutely right that telecommuting is perfect for the small company. In my opinion it is much easier to manage and communicate with telecommuters and give the company greater benefits. Large companies pull huges numbers in the hundreds of millions of dollars in saving, but I bet savings ratios for small companies would be even larger.
As telecommuting becomes more and more prevalent with great new technologies, it is important to keep a few htings in mind-great manage, trust, and communication (practically synonyms). I have been telecommuting for a few months, and these are definitely the keys to success.
We actually have been working with a wonderful free video chat tool called ooVoo which has great quality and allows 6 person video conference calls on a cute easy to use platform. It also has IMing, texting, chatting, and video email so you can get all your communication needs in one place. Utilized efficiently, colleagues can get to know one another, brainstorm, and most of all TRUST in each other.
