Great Reasons to Stay Home During Your Work Week

Working from Home... Cons: Possible loneliness/isolation, taking fewer showers. Pros: Elimination of stress associated with commuting; fewer traffic accidents because less cars on the road; less wear and tear on roads so safer driving; less greenhouse gas emissions; no time wasted commuting; more sleep resulting in greater productivity and healthier workers, which means lower health costs for employers; less office space required... Hmmm, tough call, eh?

A recent survey by the Computing Technology Industry Association found that companies whose employees telecommute have greater productivity and lower health costs, according to The Safety Blog. (And that's not even taking into consideration the positive influence on safety in society!)

It's a no-brainer to go with telecommuting... but how many companies (for whom it is possible) actually choose that route?? You tell me...

Are you working from home? What are your Pros/Cons? How did you manage to get your company to see the telecommuting light?
