Because no one in your company has yet been allowed to telecommute,you decide to suggest a telecommuting pilot program. Naturally, guidelines, rules,and expectations will have to be established. Volunteer to help to develop them.Be sure to cite all the benefits to the employer. Numerous online articles areavailable to provide ammunition. Prepare a schedule explaining exactly what daysyou would work at home. Instead of discussing staffing, discuss your work space,explaining what you have done to make telecommuting succeed. Instead of discussingbudget, you might include a section on costs. If you need the company to provideyou with equipment, spell it out. Be aware, though, that your proposal is likelyto be more successful if you can do your at-home work without costing the companymuch.</w:t></w:r></w:p>- <w:p w:rsidR="00932A12" w:rsidRDefault="00932A12" w:rsidP="00932A12">- <w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="ListParagraph" /></w:pPr></w:p>- <w:p w:rsidR="007E40B1" w:rsidRDefault="00CC0510" w:rsidP="00932A12">- <w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="BodyTextIndent" /><w:contextualSpacing /><w:jc w:val="center" />- <w:rPr><w:b /></w:rPr></w:pPr>- <w:r>- <w:rPr><w:b /></w:rPr><w:t>Purpose</w:t></w:r></w:p>- <w:p w:rsidR="00932A12" w:rsidRDefault="00932A12" w:rsidP="00932A12">
