| Telework America was originally established
as Telecommute America in 1995 -- a public-private effort
of representatives from government, non-profit and corporate
entities bound by their mutual interest in advancing the nation's
knowledge and understanding of this workplace option.
Since then Telework America has become ITAC’s promotional
and educational program of telework for North America.
In 2003, ITAC under the Telework America brand released the
Research Report, Teleworking Comes of Age with Broadband.
An executive summary and audio
webinar of this report is available for free as an electronic
file.
In addition, several webinars were held in 2003 under the
Telework America banner, "Shortcuts to Management Resistance
and Roadblocks to Telework" and "Managing Remote
Performance vs. Managing Performance Remotely, Which is it?"
Both of these webinars are available in the Resources section.
In keeping with the intent of Telework America to create
ground breaking research in telework, ITAC conducted research
in 2004, supported by the AT&T
Foundation and Cisco
Systems, that evaluated the role and benefits of telework
in the continuity of opertations for businesses and government
agencies. In 2005, ITAC published the report, Exploring Telework
as a Business Continuity Strategy: A Guide to Getting Started.
A free electronic copy of report and webinar is now available
from this ITAC site.
Executive summaries of earlier Telework America Reports are
available below.
