As the workforce becomes more mobile and no longer tethered to an office cubicle, traditional office-bound employees are giving way to teleworkers.
Telework solutions counter problems of escalating real estate costs, increased commuting time, and employee turnover while promoting carbon footprint reduction and higher employee productivity.
However, adopting and making telework effective is difficult. Although many organizational leaders chant the mantra that “work is something you do, not a place you go,” many organizations still find it difficult to embrace this concept.
Making Telework Work simplifies how leaders can integrate technology, manage skilled workers—teleworkers—and drive competitive advantage.

He has published in journals, magazines, and websites such as Quality Progress, Review of Business, Business Journal, Strategic HR Review, American Business Review, iSixSigma Magazine ,and isixsigma.com.
