With gas prices on the rise again, the Federal Government should lead by example and encourage businesses to allow their staff to work from home.
In our office, we have a few in a 'teleworking pilot program'. These individuals work from home 2-3 days a week. They are still expected to work 8 hours a day - and boy, do they! These employees admit to working more at home then they do at work, because they are less stressed, dont' have to drive anywhere, and able to focus. As long as they have their email open and answer the phone, our supervisor is happy and pleased with the outcome of this pilot program.
