This podcast from Barry J. Moltz looks at the trend toward remote work or working from home (or just about anywhere else you can think of but the office) and the money it can save for both businesses and their employees. Not to make things appear too rosy, there are, of course, some negative aspects when it comes to life/work balance. (You can reach a point where you're sort of always working.) But there are positives too. Listen to conversations with Margo Day, Vice President of Small and Midmarket Solutions at Microsoft; Chuck Wilsker, CEO of The Telework Coalition and Alexandra Levit, author and columnist for the Wall Street Journal and decide whether a remote work arrangement might be right for your business.

Shawn,

Great article; I can't actually load the podcast for some reason. The article, however, provides a lot of insight into the subject of remote working. Things that really stood out for me were: the mistrust of employers as to there employees who work from home (it seems that there would be enough software programs in existence to make sure the employee is logged in, and doing what is supposed to be done); employees are working remotely from bars, bathrooms and funerals?!? Holy cow! In any case, I really believe this will become more of an issue as businesses try and save on costs.
