The Virtual Workplace
Virtual employees give companies the ability to expand their workforce - putting their people closer to customers - while limiting the need to provide full-time office space. Research also shows that knowledge workers are more productive when they work remotely.
Here are some links of interest to

"Build Trust with Remote and Virtual Employees"
"The virtual workplace offers benefits to
organizations such as: the opportunity to reduce
costs, increase productivity, attract and retain employees, and lower
environmental pressures. Employees may no longer need to commute daily,
thanks to the technologies in which they are able to send their work
along electronic highways."
