Canadian Telecommuting Facts and Remote Access Solutions

Telecommuting seems to finally be gaining major traction among employers as old myths are disproved and worries alleviated.  A recent article on Canada.com discussed this issue and brought up a few interesting Canadian telecommuting facts:

  • 800,000 Canadians telecommute everyday
  • A further 2-2.5 million telecommute at least one day a week

These are rather large numbers considering the total population of Canada is somewhere around 30 million.  So why is telecommuting finally becoming much more widespread in Canada and other countries around the world?

One major reason could be that remote access software, like I’m InTouch, make working from home a lot less frustrating than it used to be. Employees can now control their office workstation just as if they were sitting in the office without any speed or security sacrifices. The result is that employers are much more comfortable letting employees work from home since they have confidance their employees can be productive.
