Dear Mr. Jamieson:
“I can’t get anything done at the office; I’m going home to work.” When employees utter that sentiment, it’s time for a change. Last year, 18.3 million people ran their businesses from home, a 23 percent increase over the previous year. The IRS reports one in three businesses registered in the last two years has been home-based. The typical home worker is a 41-year-old male college graduate, married with children, making $40,000 annually.
More than 200 major corporations in the U.S. now have pilot projects allowing their employees to work at home at least part of the day or week.
Myron Jones, director of Human Resources at Fountain Corporation, has just completed a study among these 200 corporations on productivity increases. Myron will be available for interviews the week of August 5 and would be willing to share with your readers some other fascinating survey results such as:
• The “mommy track” idea misses the mark.
• Large companies fear small businesses.
• Husbands and wives can blend business and family under the same roof.
Myron’s studies have taken him into corporate offices around the world, where he has met with heads of major corporations to get their feedback on such at-home arrangements. He also has published widely in trade journals in the human resource field.
If you’d be interested in interviewing Myron about supervising work-at-home employees and the productivity increases associated with this phenomenon, please call Margaret Hayden (315-378-9873).
