Competing in a global workforce means working for and with co-workers who aren't necessarily co-located. Despite the rise of the distributed workforce, working remotely is still in its infancy and is often times misunderstood. 40% of workers could work from home at least part of the time and 79% of that population would choose to work from home if given the opportunity. Is it right for you? Working remotely changes the focus from getting through the day to getting things done. Learn the tips and tricks from someone who's spent the past 6+ years working for geographically diverse companies, spanning time zones and continents. If you've ever checked your email from home or chatted long-distance with a team member on the opposite coast, you've already worked remotely. Get rid of the air quotes that typically come with "working from home" and find out why telecommuting is the new black.
