off another list:

IBM has moved to flexibility in a massive way, with an estimated 30,000-60,000 employees telecommuting (they call it "telework," which strikes me as an improvement in the terminology). Lots of great stuff here, but one striking fact was a finding used to sell the program to managers: the average teleworker can put in 8 more hours of work per week before experiencing work/family conflict relative to office-bound workers. Scary, but it fits Phil Kraft's earlier findings to a 't'. Contact ejhill at us.ibm.com for a copy of the presentation.
