Polycom: The art of teleworking

  • Middle East: Sunday, July 12 - 2009 at 14:51

There is a new class of workers out there—working from their homes nearly autonomously. Some call them teleworkers, some telecommuters. Armed with remote access to their organisation's network, with toll-free numbers, Virtual private networks (VPNs) and mobile phones, they escape traffic jams, bad weather and high fuel prices, and are able to find the right balance between personal and professional life.

But when does teleworking really work? How can a teleworker be equally or even more productive than an employee in the office?

This Polycom white paper analyses the teleworker's primary challenges and offers ideas for overcoming them.

It highlights the advances of technology that make teleworking truly successful and of greater benefit to both teleworkers and their organisations.
