Telecommuting
Telecommuting — the use of telephone or computer technologies — enables employees to work offsite, outside of the traditional workplace. Telecommuting involves working from home or a telework center near the employee's home. It substitutes for office space by removing work from the workplace for a growing number of private and public organizations.
