According to predictions made by technology researcher IDC, more than 75% of workforces in the U.S. will be mobile to some degree by 2013. While the amount of workers telecommuting stalled during the recession, it is still often seen as a win-win arrangement for both employee and employer.
There is much to be gained by transitioning to a mobile or semi-mobile workforce, including increased employee engagement and productivity, reduced turnover, and lower overhead costs. In fact, the California-based think tank, Telework Research Network found that allowing employees to telecommute just 50% of the time could translate to savings of as much as $10,000 per year, per mobile employee.
