		Telework includes telecommuting, employees with mobile work (e.g., sales staff or field workers who rely heavily on telecommunications), and people who are self-employed and able to work from a home office due to efficient communications.
		Telework may require changes in management practices that reduce the need to have employees physically together at one time, including more outcome-oriented management practices (evaluating employees based on their performance rather than simply the amount of time they spend at their desk), and increased reliance on electronic communication.
		Teleworking can improve employment opportunities for some disadvantaged groups (for example, by allowing people with disabilities that make commuting difficult, and residents of economically disadvantaged, rural communities to have better access to jobs), but labor organizations are concerned that it could lead to employee abuse (such as “electronic sweatshops” for keypunch operators).
