We take a look at telecommuting from several angles in this June issue of Business
Connections. The Business Spotlight on page 3 features Medical Voice Technology
Services, an East Bend business that depends on a team of more than a
hundred work-at-home medical transcriptionists to meet the 24/7/365 needs of
area hospitals and physicians. On page 4, we examine the question, "What Do
Workers Really Want?" to help you make your employees feel more valued. Then
on page 5, you will find tips on how to help your employees improve work-life
balance. Both of these articles touch on issues relating to telecommuting, since the
flexibility of working from home may be an opportunity to improve the morale
and productivity of your employees.
