Though we may like to think otherwise, we do not live in a black and white world.  This is especially true in the world of business.

Take telecommuting, for example.  One side argues that telecommuting can be a boon to businesses and employees alike: greater productivity, improved morale, and serious cost savings.  Opponents argue the exact opposite: employees become less productive, critical face-time is eliminated, and selective telecommuting breeds distrust amongst the workforce.

Fortunately the truth is somewhere in the middle.  The fact is, while the benefits of telecommuting are increasingly irrefutable – both statistically and anecdotally – it may not be the perfect match for every company, every position, every time.

Take the issue of reduced face-time between clients.  It is, without a doubt, a valid concern.  Yet savvy companies, armed with an effective hoteling software platform, are allowing employees to telecommute a few days a week, rather the entire work week.  And when they do work in the "parent office," they have all their software and hardware needs accounted for.

Equipped with the proper technology, companies of any size can make telecommuting work for them and their employees.
