You can go home again: successful telecommuting for the technical communicator

With the right people and properly set expectations, technical communications projects completed by telecommuters are done as well as, if not better than, projects completed by traditional office-based employees. Telecommuting requires ground rules and standards, but provides numerous benefits for employees and employers. Technical communications is an ideal career for telecommuting because it is knowledge-based, and many of the skills required to succeed at telecommuting are also those required for successful technical communications.
