The document discusses telecommuting, which is working remotely from home using technology like computers, modems, and fax machines linked to an office. Telecommuting allows employees to work from home or satellite offices and benefits include increased productivity, better work-life balance, and lower costs.

When implementing telecommuting, companies should carefully select personnel, provide needed equipment and communication tools, and establish guidelines.
