There's no doubt about that. These numbers from Cisco may indeed be somewhat inflated, but overall the trend is real and growing. Virtual office providers should definitely communicate some of these findings in their marketing materials.

Approximately 69 percent of the employees surveyed cited higher productivity when working remote, and 75 percent of those surveyed said the timeliness of their work improved. Could it be possible that these results are biased because these Cisco employees really want to keep working from home? Or because Cisco sells virtual office technologies? Cisco is credible, but doing his survey among its own employees using its own technologies is a little, well...

Ten years ago, you didn't see a focus on how much gas you could save, etc., in conjunction with teleworking benefits. It was about saving time and not having to purchase additional office space. Now, it's so focused on greenhouse gas emissions avoided by not driving to the office. It seems like everything has a green angle it in these days.

Then again, there is something to be said for personal interaction and group dynamics. I think some folks might not take as well to telecommuting. You have to be self-disciplined to make it work.

The only caveat is that Cisco is providing its employees with the very best virtual office technologies on the market. That might raise those numbers a little bit. Still, I think the benefits of teleworking/telecommuting are clear for companies of any size even if they have a virtual office technology system that's less robust. This is solid data.
