Teleworking in companies
It's not so hard to telework when you are self-employed, but what about virtual cooperation of teams?
Jason Calacanis about teleworking in Weblogs Inc.
Don't miss this podcast:
VV Show #38, Jason Calacanis is saying interesting stuff about teleworking (besides other interesting things of course) in it. 23rd minute and on.
Jason Fried about teleworking in 37Signals
In CTC 2006 Video Jason Fried is talking about what benefits can teleworking have for team productivity and how bad it actually is to sit together in the same office:
"Interruption is not collaboration"
Great Resources
Thanks Jan, I'll take a look.
By the way, for those working in web projects, 37Signals published some months ago a great book called Getting Real, it contains great advice even for the non-techie guys.

Paul Graham
Recently I finally got around to listening the Paul Graham's speech mentioned in the Telework people book. Apart from the sentence quoted in the book, I loved this: "If you can't make people work, you can at least prevent them from having fun" (around 15th minute). I think it is almost impossible to work every day eight or more hours straight or only with very short breaks and stay productive. I've worked in a few offices and I think you can see clearly that many people are extremely happy when they find something that looks like work, but it is very relaxing for them (like meetings mentioned by Paul).
I think teleworking can help people be much more relaxed and work when and where they feel like doing it and therefore be much more productive (meaning: six or less hours of teleworking can be better for the company than eight or more hours in the office).
trust
Mark from 37signals on their blog:
"[If] you can’t trust the person you’re hiring to get the job done without being under your thumb, you’re probably not hiring the right person."
And as I already said somewhere here (because it could be difficult to find the "right" person every time), if you are afraid that allowing your employees work from anywhere would lower their productivity, there's probably something wrong with
the way you manage them.
Teleworkers' experiences
From "A complete lack of structure of the day" to "To enjoy working at home, you need enjoy the flexibility you gained."; a great reading on The Business of Software.
It turns out that it requires a good self-discipline to be able to work from anywhere without problems. But there seems to be a way out many possible issues, too.
