Telecommuting

Telecommuting is popular with employees and employers

The recent increase in working away from the office benefits employers and employees alike. The value of working from home is usually readily apparent to employees, while the value to employers is not always as obvious. However, benefits ranging from decreased overhead to improved performance and employee retention cause more employers every year to create or expand telecommuting programs. Locally, Medford's Regence BlueCross BlueShield center noted a threefold increase in one department's productivity after letting employees work from home.

The State of Oregon provides information about telecommuting and a substantial tax credit for business that invest in telecommuting.
