Dell Wants Employees To Work From Home - Business Insider:
Dell is following a "Do Good" plan for 2020. Remote work, packaging and shipping. Working with supply chain and customers as well. Looks pretty GOOD!:-)
As it pertains to telecommuting... Dell seems to be saving a lot and doing "Good" as well. Telecommuting and other initiatives are outlined in Dell 2020 Legacy of Good Plan.
Here's a calc and additional info on Telecommuting savings: http://www.globalworkplaceanalytics.com/calculator
So Dell is saving lots of money. $14m last year, and reducing impact on the environment, including almost 7 thousands barrels of oil/gas reduction.
Sounds like a Good Plan, pun intended.:-)

Why Won't Yahoo! Let Employees Work From Home? - Businessweek
Why Won't Yahoo! Let Employees Work From Home? - Businessweek:
Oh boy, Mayer is gonna cause a lot of shake up here with her everyone-has-to-travel-to-work policy.
Apparently (Today Show) she now as a nursery set up next door to her office for her new convenience. That helps new parents, maybe, but not the ones with kids in school or those people who live a longer way from the office.
But Mayer is shaking it up.
There has long been the debate about the down side of work-at-home (WAH). And a tech leader like Yahoo might just be a place to face-to-face interaction that is lost from WAH.
But, I fear that making everyone drive to work is a major setback to telecommuting efforts that are so very beneficial to the efforts of sustainability.
Studies show that the true costs of telecommuting are far closer to $40,000 per year than to the $5,000 cost of gas. Most of that savings goes to the employer. Closer to $45,000 if you want to include the less-tangible costs of externalities such as infrastructure and greenhouse gases (GHGs).
