Read the following newspaper article about Telecommuting For each question 1-4, choose the correct answer. Telecommuting Working at home and saving money at the same time might sound too good to be true, but more and more people are now telecommuting -working from home using the Internet. One of the reasons why this has become popular is that people are tired of commuting. But the benefits are not only for the employees, as both parties have a lot to gain. Employers benefit because employees are less likely to take time off. Employees who work from home generally suffer from less stress because they have more time. The time that they gain from not commuting means that they often feel there is a better balance between their work and their life. However, although telecommuting is popular with both companies and employees, it means that middle management have to change their management style, since they don't have so much direct contact with the employees. There is a danger that managers focus too much on results; they have to find new ways of motivating and maintaining close contact with their staff. Another advantage for employees is that they can work more flexible hours. This means they can take their children to school and be at home when the children finish school, instead of the children spending long hours in after-school care. Telecommuters have to be self-motivated and have a good productivity record, and they should also have enough discipline to know when to start and stop working. Employees who work at home can be more productive than their office colleagues because they have fewer distractions. 8
