Telecommuting for IT (information technology) staff has become a viable working alternative for both the organization and the employee. Since the advent of greater connectivity through hi-tech advancement, effective IT employees can work as efficiently remotely as from the confines of the organization's office buildings. Location in proximity to the office is less of a factor than ever before. More and more organizations, both in the private and public sectors, are taking advantage of telecommuting for a whole range of factors. Many employees see telecommuting as a valuable benefit if offered by the organization; likewise, some organizations use telecommuting as a benefit to retain IT employees. Even though the advantages of telecommuting are numerous, there are a number of challenges that exist for the organization, management, and the telecommuting IT employee. This paper will explore the advantages and challenges of telecommuting for the organization, the project, the telecommuting IT worker, and the telecommuting IT manager.
