By definition, telecommuting is the partial or total substitution of
telecommunications technology for the trip to and from the primary
workplace, along with the associated changes in policy, organization,
management and work structure. [

"Information technology has made it possible for many people to work
out of their homes. However, organizations and
individuals have sometimes resisted the push to telecommuting due to
concerns about supervision, limited human contact, etc.
A move to telecommuting has the potential to radically change the way
knowledge workers perform their jobs, and, in order
to be successful, both technological and people issues must be
considered."

SST is a carpool matching program unlike any existing system in the
country. It uses the World Wide Web to allow users to find travel
partners for ALL the trips they make during the week, regardless of how
variable their schedules might be. It allows users to seek matches for
trips at different times, or to different locations on different days.
It also allows people to seek matches for more than one trip per day, and
for occasional and one-time only trips. When users find matches for the
trips they are interested in, the names of those matches are displayed on
the screen along with a phone number and an e-mail address.
Additionally, SST features an "Automatic E-Mail Generator" which allows
the user to instantly send out a trip specific e-mail to each person on
the list. SST was designed with the needs of students, faculty and staff
in mind, and is available for use exclusively by those affiliated with
the UW community.

By Rebecca Cook; The Associated Press
Kitsap County (occupies) the top spot for longest commute in the state, at
an average of 33 minutes according to Census 2000 figures.
... The census numbers say more about personal choices than traffic
tie-ups. People generally accept a 25- to 27-minute commute, said census

Telecommuting fails to fulfill high hopes
Seattle Times, September 17, 2001,
By Andrew Garber
Telecommuting, once considered a promising weapon against
congestion, has largely fizzled here. In fact, more
people ride their bikes to work in
Washington state than get there via computer.

The number of telecommuters
has risen steadily over the last decade, to 23.6 million last
year from 4 million in 1990, according to data collected by
Joanne H. Pratt Associates, a Dallas firm that has studied
telecommuting trends.

"hoteling" center, also
known as a telework or

Survey finds technology blurring lines of work, home
San Jose Mercury, November 2, 1999,
According to a new survey by Pitney Bowes (of postage
meter fame), 20% percent of US households receive
twice as many messages by phone, pager, fax, and email
as the average household. This is due to work
obligations penetrating the home environment.
"``There seems to be little distinction in time of day
and geography in where you conduct either business for
your employer or business for your home,'
No place like home as telecommuting
gains acceptance; Seattle Times,
March 8, 1999 by Tyrone Beason
"An estimated 15.7 million people nationwide work outside the
office at least part-time, according to the
research group Cyber Dialogue/Findsvp. By 2000, that number is
expected to jump to 18 million, in large part because more
companies are using temporary contract workers based at home."
Is it home or work? The
line has blurred; Seattle Times,
Monday, September 7, 1998; by Jodi Wilgoren
"Sixty years after Congress enacted the eight-hour workday,
progress looks like this: ...while the booming economy
and new technologies mean that work is spilling into
the homes of millions of Americans,
personal pursuits also are creeping into the
office. The same devices that tether them to the
job no matter where they are also let them
play computer solitaire and buy airline
tickets at their desks...."
Working at home easy to compute
Seattle Times, Monday, July 6, 1998; by Keith Ervin
When the rent goes up, it's not unusual for
a business to look elsewhere for office space.
Not so common is what Wicat did in February when
the Lindon, Utah, company faced a big rent increase on its
small Seattle office on Lower Queen Anne.
Instead of renewing the lease, the four employees created a "virtual
office," working out of their own homes.
"Everything is done online. It just didn't make
sense for us any more to have this physical office," says Greg Zuhl,
manager of the Seattle branch of the company that produces
computer-based training and simulation for commercial aircraft crews.
Welcome to telecommuting, 1990s style."

Companies such as AT&T, GTE, General Electric, Hewlett Packard, IBM,
JCPenney, Sears, and U S WEST
have formal telecommuting programs, as well as local, state, and federal
government agencies. About
eighty percent of telecommuting employees work for companies with fewer
than 100 employees.
Formal, organized telecommuting programs are begun by organizations as a
response to tight labor
markets and opportunities to reduce office space requirements. Most
telecommuting, however, is ad hoc,
in response to employee requests for flexibility.

Telework (also called telecommuting) is an alternative way of
accomplishing work tasks, while at the same time providing a variety of
benefits to organizations, workers, communities and the environment.
Telework is the use of telephones and, in many situations, computers to
enable an employee to work off-site, outside the traditional workplace.

TELECOMMUTING IN GERMANY REMAINS LARGELY UNEXPLORED TERRAIN,
BUSINESS IS HESITANT
In these cost-conscious days, the advantages of turning
employees into "telecommuters" seem myriad and obvious. In the
United States, some ten million people are active
telecommuters, working at computer terminals in their homes and
staying in electronic touch with their companies. The European
Union sees a similar future for its member states; the EU
Commission has estimated that the number of EU telecommuters
will reach ten million by the end of this decade. In Germany,
two industry federations, the Electric and Electronics Industry
Federation (Zentralverband der Elektrotechnik and
Elektroindustrie or ZVEI) and the German Machinery and
Equipment Building Federation (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und
Anlagenbauer VDMA), have issued medium-term prognoses that one
out of ten German jobs could be performed at home or in "sa-
tellite offices." And Federal Minister of Education, Science,
Research and Technology Jurgen Ruttgers has set his sights on
800,000 telecommuters by the year 2000 (cf. TWIG 9/8/95, p.5).
Despite the seemingly glowing future, businesses in Germany
remain hesitant to take the plunge into telecommuting, the
Frankfurter Rundschau reported recently. The reasons for this,
the newspaper suggested, lie partly in the fact that companies
that have tried telecommuting have not realized the savings
they expected. Some large companies have tried telecommuting
but retreated in the face of technical mishaps, communications
problems and high costs, particularly for network usage. These
companies, according to the Rundschau, are now exploring the
possibilities of telecommuting with pilot projects. Also, many
in middle management fear a loss of power and prestige if their
employees are not physically present and under their
supervision. To overcome these difficulties and support those
companies that have ventured into telecommuting, the European
Union has provided some DM six billion until 1998 and is also
funding a series of pilot projects.
The two industry federations estimate that some 30,000 Germans
currently work at home by computer. Estimates from other
sources range from 3,000 to 150,000, demonstrating the
difficulty of defining just what makes a worker a telecommuter.
Should the self-employed count as teleworkers? What about sales
representatives, computer programmers, graphic designers,
translators and mail-order catalogue employees racking up on-
screen hours in their homes?
Companies that have begun to use telecommuting include the
catalogue sales company Otto-Versand, where some 50 full-time
and 250 part-time employees take orders from home. The
insurance company Allianz Lebensversicherung has about 30
telecommuting jobs for software designers and specialists;
other insurers have a handful of teleworkers. Telecommuting
pioneer IBM has remained at its level of 350 at-home workers
since the inception of its program in 1991, although some 2,000
have mobile and home communications technology. Deutsche
Telekom, the telephone company currently undergoing
privatization, has just agreed to its first test of
telecommuting.
