Telecommuting has already been defined as being the best solution to the current energy crisis and hopefully the numerous posts on this topic on Bloggy Biz have shown you exactly why this is so. However, there are many people that are not particularly interested in telecommuting at the current moment in time and unfortunately a large number of those people are people that others call their boss. You need to convince your boss that telecommuting is worthwhile.

The only way to do this is to find out exactly why your boss has qualms with telecommuting and then set out to find solutions to those problems that are acceptable to your boss. If your boss is worried about not being able to come out and tell you something to your face, then mention online teleconferencing technology and also mention that you will get a dedicated phone line for use with the business. If they are worried about productivity, then explain and even show them where you will work at home to prove that productivity will not be a problem.

The wholesale switch to a telecommuting based economy is not going to be an easy one, but convincing the boss should be easy enough if you are serious about getting things done.
