Abstract
Remember telecommuting? During the current economic crisis, many companies are taking a new look at letting employees work at home, using a PC to connect to company data. Although layoffs are becoming commonplace, companies must keep an eye on the future by retaining those employees who are keys to business success and hold organizational memory. Also, laying off too many employees will increase future training costs when the economy rebounds. Telecommuting (and the broader concept, teleworking) is one way to balance the need to cut costs while retaining talented people. But there is also a downside to this practice, and the authors take an honest look at both the pros and cons. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
