As as prices continue to soar the option of workign off-site is no longer just a benefit of saving time and productivity, it also makes "green" sense and can have an economic impact for both employee and employer. BUT what if you haven't gone this route yet. How does one make the employer comfortable with letting you out of sight and not out of mind on your part or theirs. There are 3 components to this:
- Ensuring your boss can reach you easily
- Ensuring you have access to critical collaborators in your group
- Ensuring that you can deliver on time (meaning having access to critical documents and data)
- Showing online presence to your employer so that they know that at least you are "present"
In addition it is interesting to point out that many road warriors can benefit by being close to their clients and therefore offers additional productivity savings in terms of accessing clients quickly and more conveniently by starting from home base.
With Groove the above issues are not only handled within one application, groups of teleworkers can be kept as a workspace by employers so that notices that apply to this group specifically can be directed to them easily, real time and with traceability.
In times where shareholders are looking for value and greening of repsonsible companies, Groove is starting to look more and more like the "Green Technology Tool "of the year.
