A recent survey conducted by Cisco of its own workforce indicates telecommuting is an effective, productive alternative for this global company. Presently, the average Cisco employee telecommutes two days per week, using 60% of the time saved to focus on work tasks. Not only do employees enjoy heightened productivity and the freedom of more personal time by telecommuting, Cisco is reducing its carbon footprint and benefitting from a “next-generation workforce” that is experiencing increased work-life balance and job satisfaction.
Certainly, it’s not surprising that Cisco would be a forerunner in telecommuting technology. As stated in the company’s news release boilerplate, Cisco is a “worldwide leader in networking that transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate.” The company utilizes its own advanced, well designed electronic collaboration tools to equip telecommuters to work together effectively.
