Telecommuting is increasingly growing more popular among the workforce. Employees are routinely working from home offices, client sites or other remote locations. Even though separated from supervisors and other colleagues, these telecommuters understand that they still need to remain connected with their peers so they can collaborate with one another and their clients.
Popular social media sites, such as Facebook and LinkedIn® encourage collaboration, motivating individuals to share information and work together on various projects.
