With the economy sinking and employers looking for new ways to increase productivity and save money, the idea of telecommuting and developing a mobile workforce is gaining popularity and becoming essential to many businesses. On Dec. 10, FierceCIO is sponsoring a Webinar on telecommuting, and what you need to know to implement it in your office.

This Webinar will take you through the steps of how an organization should get started on a telework program and how to determine employee eligibility. We'll tell you what you need to do to support multinational network sites and what you need to bear in mind to make it possible.

And you will have a chance to ask questions of our two panelists:

• Cindy Auten, general manager for Telework Exchange, an online community and public-private partnership.
• Chris Neal, Vice President of Chadwick Martin Bailey. He has 12 years of telecom and high-tech industry expertise as a market researcher, industry analyst and consultant.

If you are thinking about employee teleworking, or if you have realized it's a necessity for your business, join us on Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. for a webinar that will give you the information you need to get started or keep going. - Judi
