Telecommuting in the 21st Century: How to Implement or Improve Virtual Teams and Flexible Work in Your Organization (Part 7: Where Do We Start?)

November 13, 2009 by Phil Montero 

Welcome to Part 7 of our 13 part audio series on Flexible Work and Telecommuting -  Telecommuting in the 21st Century: How to Implement or Improve Virtual Teams and Flexible Work in Your Organization“.

When looking to roll out  telework or flexwork in your organization it often helps to start with a pilot program.  This can help you gather important feedback, make sure you have the right technology in place, and help you recognize any speed bumps that might arise when expanding your program throughout the rest of your company. The size of your company will dictate how formal and involved this process needs to be. However having some type of trial period is always a good way to start.

In part 7 of our podcast we look at steps for successful telework implementation and how to get started.

So listen in to Part 7: Where Do We Start?

    long wanted to read about
  • It seems you focus on organizations do you have resources available for people, like myself, trying to find organizations that allow working from home.
  • Collette - we do provide a lot of information for organizations embracing telework (like this podcast series) in our effort to move the flexible work cause forward and help more companies embrace this way of working. However we also try to provide lots of information and tips for telecommuters, remote workers, freelancers, digital nomads, or anyone looking to work from anywhere. We tend not to recommend specific resources to help people find telecommuting or work at home jobs as you need to do a lot of due diligence to weed out the legitimate ones from the scams. However there are legitimate resources out there. I would recommend as a starting point to visit Career Life Connection - which is a site run by my friend and colleague Leanne Chase. She seeks to connect educated, experienced individuals with corporations that provide flexible work environments.

    We used to maintain a list of such resources but found it too difficult to stay on top of them with sites launching and closing and switching hands all the time. I wish you the best of luck with your search and if you find any legitimate sites I hope you will come back to the blog and share them with us! - Phil
