Workshifting - The Bottom Line

The purpose of this paper is to quantify the benefits of workshifting -- specifically working from home -- has for employers, employees, and the community. Citrix Online coined the term 'workshifting' to describe the growing trend to working from anywhere other than a traditional office through the use of web-based technology. The older and more traditional terms for this are 'teleworking' or even 'telecommuting'. Both of these terms are cited in this report to preserve its authenticity, since some of the data specifically cited those terms.
