You Might Be Able to Flex Your Way to a Fatter Paycheck
By Brian O’Connell
Contrary to what ‘some others’ are erroneously reporting, the telework trending is upward during the last half of the first decade on the 21st Century no matter how measured… one day per month, one day per week, part-time or full-time!
One can only speculate why anyone would suggest there is a downward ‘trend’ in the number of teleworkers??? Perhaps those so reporting have a vested interest with antiquated industrial era work practices, “ STAUTUS QUO” that continues their unique individual interest, cash flows, organizational positioning, etc… rather than supporting job growth, greater employment opportunities regardless of geographic location, and competing more effectively (and fairly) in the emerging global market place.
