What is Telecommuting? Definition or Meaning

Telecommuting is a working arrangement where the employee does some company work, usually on a computer. It’s not “taking work home”, rather it is “working from home”.

For example…

Several large corporations and even small businesses encourage telecommuting as part of flexible work policies. This means employees can work on their own or a company-provided computer from home or a library, or wherever they choose to. Dell, IBM and Amazon usually rank near the top for providing telecommuting or working from home policies.
