Security Career Center: Out of the hundreds of sites focusing on telecommuting or as some call it, telework, this one we like the best.... This site is clean and clear. It gives you major topic headings in a side bar, and these lead you into a rich and diverse collection of resources. Everything you will need to know about telecommuting is here: the advantages and disadvantages of working from home, expected costs and benefits to the company, worker and the community, case studies, articles and links to other resources. One topic covered here, which we did not routinely see on other sites, was the legal/risk management aspects of setting up a program. Although this is a Canadian website, it contained plenty of information from both Europe and the US. Security Career Center


Helen Solomons, Phd, President, TDSI Inc. ".......your CT News and web site are definitely the best of breed -- and not just in Canada.

Upon completion of the work, we continue to receive many positive accolades regarding our revised website content. As a result of Bob's efforts, we have been compared to other such sites as one of the most comprehensive and informative on many topics concerning telecommuting. “
