This report was commissioned by Citrix Online to explore how businesses are communicating and collaborating across the globe. The study surprisingly revealed that Gen X workers - and not those in the younger Gen Y generation - make up the majority of those who use social networking for business, followed closely by Boomers aged 55 and older. The survey, conducted by Forrester Consulting, provides a snapshot of how the global workforce communicates as work becomes more distributed and usage of collaboration technologies increases. It reveals a highly-dispersed workforce still favoring meetings, but increasingly using tools such as social networking and video chat to communicate and collaborate.

Workshifting - The Bottom Line
Posted May 18 2010 | File Size: 2.2 MB | Categories: Business, Managers, Whitepaper, Workshifting
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.
