Telecommuting moves information rather than people by using telecommunications technology to partially or completely replace the commute to and from work.
As a work strategy, telecommuting can:
  • Increase productivity
  • Reduce stress on the employee
  • Decrease corporate costs
  • Ease both congestion and air pollution
A key difference between a telecenter and a conventional office is the location.
  • Instead of commuting long distances to work, a telecenter user can walk or bike to work in a neighborhood telecenter near his or her home.

  • Workers can experience an easy, stress-free commute one or more days a week, improving their quality of life while reducing traffic congestion and helping to improve air quality.
