Today's new information and communication technologies have opened a whole new range of possibilities for the modern workplace. No longer confined to the four walls of an office building, teleworking enables enterprising businesses to create a virtual office that fits their needs in terms of skills and workload for any given time.
These teleservices can take many forms such as clerical duties, accounting, payroll, customer relations, advertising, customer services...
Telework (also called telecommuting) is the ability to do your work at a locationother than your "official duty station". With portable computers, high speed telecommunications links, and ever-present pocket communications devices, many employees today can work almost anywhere at least some of the time. Using the flexibility to work in a home office or telework centre when it is effective to do so is clearly the wave of the future, and for many of us the future is already here.
