TELECOMMUTING AND FLEX WORK CAN WORK IN COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES: Hiring is expensive when you are constantly advertising and filling positions. Hiring, advertising, office space, supplies, etc etc..  Getting the right talent for your needs can be overwhelming.. Some companies might hire consider alternatives if they could get the right talent, and skill set for a good price without alot of overhead.  For small business to large enterprise, the right talent in your jobs makes all the difference, but sometimes the best talent is already working for you company... OR would if they only DIDNT HAVE TO MOVE.  Telework is the new business frontier.. Companies can build loyalty, go green, reduce costs, and much more, and it only requires a little more flexibility for great returns on productivity and more!

Companies on a fixed budget can attract more talent by offering flex hours and telecommuting to staff positions they might not need a full time resource for. Companies of all sizes can improve retention and increase value by retaining key employees with flex work and telecommuting options..

A Business and Legal Resources survey indicated that 50% of employer respondees are now offering telecommuting in some form, and that 2/3 of them have had telework/flex work programs for 3 or more years.  Why not?  It is part of the secret recipe for productive happy employees.  A U.K. Cranfield School of Management found that flex hour workers tended towards more focus work then their counterparts with fixed office hours.
