TELEWORKING AND FLEXIBILITY - CBI/PERTEMPS
Half of all employers (46%) said they now offered teleworking
to staff, an increase from 14% two years ago and 11% in 2004.
31% of employees reaching retirement age asked if they could postpone their
retirement. Although it is 81% of those requests were granted.
95% of such requests from parents are accepted.
The survey of 513 respondents employing over 1m staff,
showed that although flexible working has been a success, with 93% of employers
offering at least one form of flexible working, and 57% offering at least
three, there is deep concern among employers about other areas of employment
law.
Pollsters YouGov UK, commissioned by Zurich Insurance,
questioned 1,000 UK workers and found that a third telework at least 16 hours a month at home and that more of
the workforce foresee that they will telework in the coming year. The

Extract from a BBC report
6 Oct 2005, which errs on (1) SW2000 Telework Studies counted
Rising numbers
Teleworkers were first counted back in 1997.
|
Then, just 921,000 people said they used telephones
or computers to let them work at home or to use their homes as a base for work.
Of these, 737,000 said they couldn't in fact work
like this without both a computer and phone.
But by early 2005 the number of teleworkers had
shot up to 2,377,000.
And most - 2.1 million - said they depended on
their digital technology to work from home.
As a result all teleworkers now make up 8% of the
working population, up from 4% in 1997.
However, Alexandra Jones of the Work Foundation
says: "It's not as big a rise as some people were once predicting during
the hype of the dot-com boom."
An

http://www.workingfromanywhere.org/news/pr100405.htm
Research conducted for ITAC by The Dieringer Research Group as part of
Dieringers 2005 American Interactive Consumer Survey.
The national survey was conducted from August 15 September 1, 2005.
The survey asked respondents to check up to 13 different locations where they
may have conducted work in the past month. The survey found that out of 135.4
million American workers:
Among the 45.1 million Americans working from home (33.3% - NB This will include traditional
non-computer working, usually simple, piece-work; addressing envelopes,
wrapping gifts etc ), the average number of locations they work from
is 3.4.
This survey demonstrates that millions of Americans are embracing
telework the ability to work from anywhere. Other terms relating to telework
include telecommuting (work at home), virtual work and mobile work.
The ability for people to work from anywhere is attributed in part to
increasing availability of portable computer and high-speed communication
technologies, said Robert Smith, Director of ITAC. For example, the use of
broadband in the home by teleworkers increased by over 60% during the past year
resulting in 25.6 million home-based teleworkers with high speed access.

In this UK OxIS survey 13% access
sex sites but the UK survey below, 17th May 05, Pornography on
the Net, shows 87% of men and 56% of women have accessed sex sites the survey concluded that sexual curiosity
had been a significant motive for getting on-line. Maybe its the way the
question is asked? Or, perhaps more likely, sex-sites occupy 13% of the total
time on-line of 87% of men and 56% of women? Theories on a postcard please
and emailed to OII. |

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
I am pleased to present the Office of Personnel Managements
(OPM) 2004 report on the status of Telework in the Federal Government. This report summarizes findings from our 2003
agency telework survey and describes the major telework promotion activities
undertaken by OPM in partnership with the General Services Administration
(GSA).
For the third consecutive year, the number of telework-eligible
and teleworking employees continues to grow.
Governmentwide, 751,844 Federal employees representing 43 percent of the
Federal workforce were telework-eligible in 2003, compared with 625,313 Federal
employees representing 35 percent of the Federal workforce in 2002. This represents an increase of 20 percent, or
an additional 126,531 identified telework-eligible positions. The actual number of employees teleworking in
2003 was 102,921, representing a 14 percent increase over the number of
teleworkers in 2002. Notably, since
April 2001, the number of teleworkers has increased from 53,389 to 102,921, an
increase of 93 percent in the size of the telecommuting workforce.
Initially, the thrust of developing telework as an
employee/employer option centered on environmental goals, enhanced quality of
life issues, and recruitment and retention issues. In 2001, President George W. Bush added
telework to his New Freedom Initiative, which focused on expanding job
opportunities for people with disabilities.
In the aftermath of September 11, telework has attracted greater
attention by Federal managers as an essential consideration in agencies
emergency planning efforts, whether for snow storms, other natural disasters,
or terrorist attacks. Telework has been
integrated into the Federal Governments Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP),
and OPM is laying the groundwork for including telework in its evaluation of
agency human resources programs.
For the 2003 report, OPM revised the telework survey instrument
to sharpen and clarify definitions and to bring the survey in line with OPMs
strategic focus for telework. Our focus
includes recognizing the necessity of telework in emergency planning, the
importance of a regularly scheduled and experienced cadre of teleworkers, and
the use of occasional telework as a trial assessment period. We also emphasize the necessity for Federal
agencies to take responsibility for meeting statutory telework obligations.
We conclude that telework is growing steadily in the Federal
Government, whether measured by the number of employees teleworking or by the
growing maturity of agency telework programs.
Telework is progressively moving into the mainstream as an expected part
of an effective agencys personnel strategy, rather than as a special program
needing a great deal of external support.

Telework consultants cite time saved for productive work as the largest single benefit. These two tables indicate one method of valuing your business time compared to sample results from public companies.
The contribution to the "top-line" is equally valid for people in non-profit making organisations. Most large organisations earn net profits after all costs, overheads and taxes of 5%-10%, so there is only that degree of difference when calculating the personal contribution of civil servants and charitable agencies workers to their employers organisations. And no employers hire and retain people who are not making a valuable contribution to the team - there are few passengers inside the modern corporate system.
