statistics discredit claims that they're all cool about staffers working

from home. A recent Australian study showed while 24% of Australian

organisations said they allowed teleworking, only 6% of employees

actually work offsite. It seems not being able to see who's at work

brings out managers' fears about remote control, that's despite mounting

evidence that teleworking increases productivity and boosts bottom

lines. Enjoying its benefits requires a shift in management style and

policies for communication. And, while being gung-ho about the upside,

there's also the issue that not everyone wants to work far and away.
