"Home for the Holidays" Has New Meaning When Workers Can Connect Remotely to Office PCs: National Survey Reveals 76% of Respondents Envision Greater Job Satisfaction Working from Home for Part of Week, Reports Citrix Online.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Achieving a satisfactory balance between work and home life is especially important - and difficult - during the holidays. Many workers feel torn between wrapping up year-end projects and wrapping gifts. A recent survey of 1,000 American adults nationwide indicated that 76% would be more satisfied with their jobs if they could work from home one day per week. By having secure, remote access to their office PC via the Web, it's easier than ever for today's harried multi-taskers to spend more time with family while keeping job productivity high. And that can give the familiar phrase, "home for the holidays," new meaning.

The survey, conducted by the polling company[TM] inc., also found that for respondents, the "best thing" about working from home and accessing their office computer remotely includes: spending more time with family/pets; working during off hours such as early morning or late evening; and spending less time commuting.

"Tis the season for telecommuting, as workers desire the ability to have more flexible work schedules while remaining productive," reports Kellyanne Conway, president and CEO of the polling company[TM], inc. "With 73% being more likely to take a job that allowed them to work from home, it is clear the public is no longer satisfied with having to be seen in their cubicle eight hours a day, five days a week, when much of the same work can be done from their kitchens or couches through the use of web-based tools that equip them to operate remotely."
