Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Many books have been written about telecommuting. How is this one different?

Unique focus. Telecommuting Success is specifically for the telecommuter employed by an organization. It discusses the issues unique to employees who work—or would like to work—away from the main office full-time, part-time, or sometimes. Other books lack this focus and try to address the self-employed, managers, entrepreneurs, or those setting up home offices. While these other readers can benefit from the information in Telecommuting Success, this book’s distinctive focus gets telecommuting employees plugged in, productive, and promotable.

In-depth coverage of both tangible and intangible issues. Telecommuting Success discusses in-depth all the tangible and intangible issues that concern today’s telecommuter. Other books cover telecommuting technology alone or treat telecommuting as a novelty managed with basic hints. Take a look at the table of contents; you’ll see that Telecommuting Success addresses all topics relevant to this increasingly popular way to work and live.

Self-directed and empowering. Not only does this book explain how to become a great telecommuter, it shows you why it’s important to become a “power telecommuter.” This practical yet inspiring approach helps you take your telecommuting, your career, and your future into your own hands; grow in visibility and value on the job; and work with focus and balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars best book on telecommuting, December 4, 2001
By 
Nathan D. Bos (Ann Arbor, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Telecommuting Success: A Practical Guide for Staying in the Loop While Working Away from the Office (Paperback)
I recently reviewed a number of books on telecommuting and distance collaboration for a research center (...) and Dziak's book was the best I found on telecommuting.

While some other books dwell too much on details of home office setup (which this book does cover thoroughly in ch 4) Dziak is by far the most insightful about the real challenges of telecommuting, which are social issues of staying in touch. The book gives prescriptive advice in easily-digestable forms. Dziak is quite fond of top-10 lists, but manages to pack a lot of good content into this somewhat gimmicky format. My most-reference part of the book was his '10 Ways to stay on the corporate radar screen' (p. 181).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Guide You Will Need for Telecommuting, August 15, 2001
This review is from: Telecommuting Success: A Practical Guide for Staying in the Loop While Working Away from the Office (Paperback)
Michael Dziak's book is very thorough, and is a comprehensive guide on telecommuting. The check lists, forms, and practical tips are very usefull. This book offers so much for anyone operating a home office, it is a good investment even if they don't telecommute. I agree with other reviewers this is the desk companion or bible for telecommuters. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice for the telecommuter., May 8, 2001
This review is from: Telecommuting Success: A Practical Guide for Staying in the Loop While Working Away from the Office (Paperback)
Telecommuting Success is a great tool for the telecommuter. It is very easy to read and understand and gives tips that will help ensure that if you become a telecommuter you will be allowed to stay one. It shows you how to be successful and get the recognition for your work that you deserve, even if you are out of the office a good portion of the time. This is key to a successful teleworking relationship.

I highly recommend this book for any business that has or is implementing a telework program and would make it required reading for all teleworkers in that program.
