A post on Entreperneur.com’s Blog today discusses the link between telecommuting and the U.S. dependence on oil. Kristin writes:
According to an American Electronics Association report in April 2008, an estimated 1.35 billion gallons of fuel could be saved if all Americans who could telework, did so 1.6 days per week. So not only would that spare the atmosphere billions of pounds of carbon dioxide, but that would mean fewer people on the roads and less frightful commutes.
Hey, all you so-called “green” companies and employers! Listen up!

Looks nice. Government should provide incentive to employers for allowing telecommute. This will save gas and economy.
Days are not far off to see telecommuting gaining lot of popularity in the wake of fuel scarcity or pricing. I have one doubt, in such case, what about the huge concept of people management and does it also mean that we can further cut down the jobs on people management process?
