The Swine Flu Hysteria may have been more hype than disaster - but it did show how businesses can use technology to prevent a loss of production and increase efficiency through Telecommuting - allowing an employee to work securely from an alternate work site or home.

If telecommuting is properly deployed, the return on investment, especially time and cost savings can be realized almost immediately. Statistics show that with proper guidelines and policies Telecommuting: 

• Improves employee morale and productivity,
• Decreases sick leave,
• Reduces office / parking space needs,
• Improves quality of life for busy owners and employees who will spend less time and money commuting to and from work,
• Organizations can continue business operations during an emergency or disaster situation. A telecommute network acts not only as a means for employees to work from any location, but as an emergency communications system and a resource to keep key employees engaged and in touch during a crisis,
• Improves recruitment and retention of employees because of the flexibility to work at home,

However, many employers still have viable concerns about offering telecommuting to employees.
