Cisco released its Teleworker Survey, an in-depth study of almost 2,000 company employees.

The study evaluated the social, economic and environmental impacts associated with telecommuting at Cisco.  It was no surprise that a majority of telecommuting employees found a significant increase in work-life flexibility, productivity and overall satisfaction because they worked remotely.

And the satisfaction goes both ways.  Cisco has achieved estimated annual savings of $277 million in productivity by allowing employees to telecommute and telework.
