Despite the proven “bottom-line” benefits of telework, companies are still reluctant to implement new ways of organizing their workforces. That is particularly true of the practice of allowing employees to work from home offices. The findings of four studies that identify factors that must be considered in overcoming the barriers to telework are presented: (a) a report of the Telecommute America! public-private effort to promote awareness and understanding of telecommuting and telework; (b) a survey of Houston, Texas, employers required to submit trip reduction plans under the Clean Air Acts; (c) an evaluation of the city and county of Denver, Colorado, TRP 2000 training program, and (d) the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, telecommuting assistance initiative of the North Texas Clean Air Coalition.
