How to work remotely successfully

About.com Rating 5

From Catherine Roseberry, for About.com

Whether you are looking for more information on the equipment you need to work successfully as a telecommuter or tips on balancing your new style of work, Michael Dziak has written the book which covers these topics and more.

All The Details

In an easy to read style that doesn't get you overloaded with technical talk or words, Mr. Dziak provides tips and solutions that really do work.

From Avoiding 10 Telecommuting Traps which is on the inside front cover and covered in more detail in Chapter 2. I have the feeling I'm a wannabe Gadget Gilda but it's good to know how to avoid falling into that trap.

If you are considering proposing telecommuting and not sure enough of the details involved, this book will certainly help in that regard. You can find out what technologies are used, tax benefits, how to measure and track your work and even setting up your home office.

With a realistic view of the ways that our workforce and workplaces are changing, Mr. Dziak provides information that will assist you as a telecommuter.

This book is one that you could read in one sitting but it's perhaps even better as a resource book to keep handy. I've found that I can go back to it and find new bits of information or resources that are useful.

Wrapping Up

For managers or supervisors faced with the challenge of working with telecommuters, this book will provide insight to the telecommuter's world. Gaining a better understanding of telecommuting will only help telecommuting programs to succeed.

I've always said that education is the best way to promote telecommuting, and if you use this book you will find plenty of resources to help you educate others.
