Comments on: Telework from home, or the office? http://blog.worknouveau.com/2009/04/05/telework-from-home-or-the-office/ Impacts of technology on work and society Wed, 14 Apr 2010 06:01:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ian Culpin http://blog.worknouveau.com/2009/04/05/telework-from-home-or-the-office/#comment-36 Ian Culpin Tue, 07 Apr 2009 07:47:21 +0000 http://blog.worknouveau.com/?p=149#comment-36 Yes the casual coworking facility was exactly provided by the telecentre/telecottage. I see that as more individuals become freelance, portfolio workers etc., the more they will need these types of facility, not only for stimulation, brainstorming etc. but also to keep skill sets up. Unfortunately eroding skill sets is an issue for teleworkers. Yes the casual coworking facility was exactly provided by the telecentre/telecottage.

But that's only if we insist telework is strictly home-based... and it's not! If need be, it can be much more flexible. One option I've been interested in is the concept of "casual coworking." While I find working from home just fine, it is nice to see new people in person from time to time! Check out http://www.workatjelly.com/ for more about casual coworking.

That was always one of the great strengths of the telecottage/telecentre, although I found less obvious in the professional business centre, where privacy is engineered into the system . Going into a shared office environment can extend horizons. Jean Yves,
