telecommuting — teleworking A work arrangement in which employees work at remote locations, usually at home, using computers and telecommunications links to carry out their responsibilities and communicate with others as necessary … Big dictionary of business and management
Teleworking, also known as telecommuting, means working from home or remotely using modern technology and telecommunications to remain in touch with your employer or business. Teleworking allows individuals to work either at home, a local cafe with WiFi, or at a local telework center for one or more days each week, or full time.
The teleworker uses communication tools to carry out work duties from a remote location. Over the past twenty years, the practice has become much more common. The term remote working also means the same as teleworking.
According to Dictionary.com, teleworking is:
“The use of home computers, telephones, etc, to enable a person to work from home while maintaining contact with colleagues, customers, or a central office Also called telecommuting.”
Telecommuting during the coronavirus pandemic
According to R&I World by RUVID in Spain:
“Preliminary results from a study conducted by Valencia’s Polytechnic University (UPV) shows that only 9% of workers polled teleworked five days a week before the pandemic, whereas now 87% do so.”
“Eighty-six percent of workers would be willing to telework after the pandemic, at least one day a week. A percentage that reaches 18.6% among those who say they would do so five days a week.”
Equipment and tech
In order to function effectively as a teleworker, you will need the following equipment and technology:
- a computer
- an email account
- an account with a service that provides video teleconferencing (not always necessary)
- a smartphone
- a fax machine (not always necessary)
Teleworking advantages for the employer
- Reduced office running costs and overheads such as office space, electricity, heating and other utilities.
- Fewer travel-related problems. For example, staff not affected by bus or train strikes, or bad weather.
- Wider choice of candidates for recruitment. With teleworking, the employer can choose candidates from anywhere in the country, and also across the world.
Flexible schedules
With flexible schedules, i.e., people working outside the traditional 9-to-5 period, companies can become 24-hour operations. For many firms, this could mean more revenue and business opportunities.
The employer needs to make sure that the worker is fully capable of working at home at least as effectively as at the office. The teleworker must be trusted – this is a risk for the employer (and the worker).
Some people do not function well if they are not physically supervised. The employer needs to be prepared to have less control over the employee who is working from home.
Teleworking advantages for the worker
- You can get up later, because ‘traveling’ from your bed to your home workstation is a very short distance.
- You work in a comfortable environment; your home.
- No traveling outside to and from work.
- No work-related travel costs.
- It is easier to work around your family’s needs.
- If you are self-employed or run your own business, you don’t need to spend money on a premises.
Less office camaraderie
If you do decide to work from home, bear in mind that you will have less interaction with other colleagues. There will be fewer opportunities to meet others, bounce ideas off each other, forget about your personal problems with some office banter or after-work get-togethers, etc.
If most of your other team members work at the office, you may find yourself eventually becoming the ‘outsider’ – you might find it harder to work as a fully-integrated team member.
If you prefer separating your personal life from work, teleworking may not be for you. Bear in mind that you will be spending considerably more time ‘immersed’ in your personal life.
A teleworker needs to be a self-motivated person. There will be nobody there motivating you to carry out your duties properly and on time. Are you that kind of person? Can you work successfully under your own steam?
Teleworking becoming more common
According to gallup.com, thirty-seven percent of US workers said they had telecommuted in 2015, a thirty percent increase over a decade, and four times greater than in 1995 (9%). This does not mean that 37% worked at home all the time, but that they have worked at home some of the time.
The average US employee was teleworking for two days each month last year. The majority of employers said their teleworkers were just as productive as their in-office personnel.
The number of individuals working from home has been increasing dramatically since the advent of the Internet. Over the past decade in the United Kingdom, the number of people who are full-time teleworkers has increased to one in seven of all employees.
In 2015, there were over four million teleworking employees in the UK, representing 13.7% of the total workforce. Experts say this percentage will increase considerably over the next decade.
Technology has made teleworking easier for employees. The majority of companies seem willing to allow their workers do carry out their duties remotely, at least on a part-time basis if their position allows for it.

Well, no-one can do the latter and I suspect, without extensive field research (like gathering lots of data), no-one can do the former either. A few forum members can provide a tiny amount of anecdotal data — just making sure your expectations are realistic

![:)]( "Smile :)")
I was surprised at the results of the Ngram analysis. OK it’s a little old but it re-affirms by asessment that my (and probably other forum members’) input is quite likely to be from a quite narrow set of experiences while the Ngram database is quite extensive and probably more representatve — overall — than the sum of experiences of a few members. I’ve heard «telecommute» quite frequently, «work from home» too, but telework is new to me. Others have different experiences. When the numbers are quite large (0.00003% is not huge but well above the noise level) the Ngrams can provide a more reliable answer than the half-dozen or so members posting here.

Let’s see how it will change Maybe we could come back to this thread 10 years from now or so. The commonness of a word could greatly change after events such as an outbreak of a virus.
The word «teleworking» could become very common, or it could also be forgotten. Nobody knows what will happen. That’s what I meant by «maybe» in #18.

my disclaimer: I think I can work AT home and not be a teleworker or telecommuter…
So that implies that working At home is not the same as working FROM home…
Why would the English language have two very different prepositions to mean the same thing? (static vs movement)
Working from home implies an electronical device to send your work to your boss/firm , etc thus the»tele» part!!
I think Telecommuting as a word is not so dumb, as you go to anf fro to your working place virtually! I’m surprised by that North-American reaction…Times change ,I suppose !
I’ve been talking/teaching about that topic with my students for the past 20 years (18-22 years old) with the help of press articles in which both words appeared (telecommuter more in Am.E. press) (sorry no database!)
It is true that the concept has taken time to become real and spread..(oops!)
Advantages and drawbacks? , my line of tackling the topic with students!
I was about to drop the subject this year but as I have to «teleteach» these weeks, it seems quite appropriate!!
Have a nice day!

disclaimer: I think I can work AT home and not be a teleworker or telecommuter…
We can work from or at home without teleworking.
A teleworker accesses the employer’s resources remotely — for example, by logging in to the company network. That’s why it’s «tele-«.
I was self-employed. I worked from home — all of my work-related records were stored in my home. I travelled to other places to see people in the course of my work. I worked at home — I read information and wrote most of my reports in my home.
I have never been a teleworker.

I am a ‘remote worker’. I work from home at the moment and am connected to the company’s network.
I’ve never heard ‘teleworker’ used in English (it’s perfectly normal in Italian).

Many jobs let you work at home or at an off-site location
Updated on April 24, 2020
Telework sounds like a fancy work-from-your-telephone type of job, but it’s really just a synonym for telecommuting. These terms refer to a type of work arrangement where an employee or employer does not commute to the primary office location for work but instead works from home or an off-site location.
In other words, telework is any situation where work duties are accomplished outside of the regular office location where a group of employees might also work. However, telework does not refer to situations where employees sometimes take work home with them or where an employee’s job involves a lot of off-site work or travel (like sales).
Federal Government Usage
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management and General Services Administration uses the term telework for Federal Government reporting purposes and regarding all policy and legislative matters.
Their Telework Guide defines telework as:
«Work arrangements in which an employee regularly performs officially assigned duties at home or other work sites geographically convenient to the residence of the employee.»
To be considered a teleworker, the employee has to work remotely at least once a month.
Telework is also known as remote work, flexible work arrangement, teleworking, virtual work, mobile work, and e-work. However, telecommuting and telework didn’t always have the exact same definition.
How to Work From Home
Working at a different location from your employees or colleagues might seem like an enticing idea. After all, organizations that have telework policies often report greater employee satisfaction, since working from home provides greater work-life balance for the employee.
However, not all employers support teleworking situations. There are several things you should consider before you ask your employer if you can work from home. Read company policy about remote work before you offer the idea of telecommuting.
If you want to become a work-at-home employee, you should be aware of what to expect. There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to a telework position, just like there are for regular, on-site work arrangements.
Examples of Telework
Since telework is any work done away from the main office, it can refer to any job that can be performed at your own home, a different office location, or anywhere else in the world. Here are some examples of telework positions:
- Computer Programmer
- Online Tutor
- Writer
- Administrative Assistant
- Underwriter
- Travel Agent
- Stockbroker
- Medical Transcriptionist
- Translator
