Can Telecommuting Put The Brakes On Your Career?
Working from home may reduce commute time, save money, and shrink an employee’s carbon footprint. But it can also be a hazard to career advancement, a new study shows.
Futurity reports that In a pair of studies—one involving in-depth interviews with office workers and another using a behavioral experiment—Kimberly Elsbach, professor in the Graduate School of Management at University of California, Davis and colleagues found that being present at the workplace gives an employee an important edge.
When bosses and co-workers see an employee at work, they tend to think more highly of that person. And their evaluation is even more favorable if the sighting is after normal business hours.
Details of the study are published in the June issue of the journal Human Relations.

While I can see where they might be coming from I don’t think it is fair. If anything that telecommuter must do more work to make up for that convenience than anyone in the office. It sounds to me that some people might have fallen prey to the “at home so slacking off” stigma that telecommuters work so hard to fight.
