Barack Obama Encourages Telecommuting January 26, 2009 7:38 am

I am a huge advocate of telecommuting. I acknowledge that telecommuting is difficult as the employee has to be very self-disciplined and the management has to let micromanagement go and extend a huge amount of trust in the employee. I think the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Barack Obama sees the benefits to the family in encouraging telecommuting as stated in The White House’s Family Agenda.

Expand Flexible Work Arrangements: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will address this concern by creating a program to inform businesses about the benefits of flexible work schedules for productivity and establishing positive workplaces; helping businesses create flexible work opportunities; and increasing federal incentives for telecommuting. Obama and Biden will also make the federal government a model employer in terms of adopting flexible work schedules and permitting employees to petition to request flexible arrangements.

Be sure to read Duncan Fisher’s summary of Obama’s program and his oration on fatherhood.

A heavy shower of stress in the morning. Followed by a flash of hot temper around lunch. Expect a tropical depression late afternoon. This evening will have extreme swings in conditions.
