Teleworkers master their domain by giving up 9 to 5 at the office
January 25th, 2006 Posted in General
According to the Ottawa Business Journal a study by Gartner Dataquest estimates that 1.07 million Canadians will telework at least eight hours a week in 2006 and a Statistics Canada survey says about 19 per cent of respondents in Ottawa identified themselves as home-based workers in 2003.

As a home business operator I agree that productivity and communication is not an issue. I’m surprised at how many home business operators and teleworkers there are now, and that number will be rising rapidly. I attended a Chamber of Commerce committee meeting recently for the first time and was surprised to learn that a number of people attending worked from home. With computer hardware costs much lower than what they used to be, high-speed Internet access and cell phone service readily available, it’s not expensive to get started.
