Workplace Strategy : In or Out part 2

Lots of discussion going on in Silicon Valley, and all over California about Yahoo's Marissa Mayer and the decree for no more telecommuting. While the spirit may have been toward a positive, the trend here is definitely to more telework rather than less. Most of the telecommuting is negotiated by the employee and the company because it makes sense. There are some jobs that lend themselves brilliantly to virtual work and still being plugged into a team in meaningful ways. Human Resources is not typically one of those, although recruiters have often been offsite for ages.
