About teleworkers

Many large companies allow or even encourage people to work from home. It's been estimated, for example, that approximately one-third of IBM's workforce do not have a permanent office in an IBM facility. Some work from home most or all of the time. Others are work primarily at customer or partner sites.

As a result, IBM has taken steps to ensure that teleworkers have the same opportunities for healthy living as employees who work in traditional facilities. This article in last Sunday's Boston Globe describes some of the wellness programs available to remote employees.

AT&T, on the other hand, calls teleworkers back to cubicle life. (via Slashdot)
