A somewhat biased view on China…
More and more employees of big companies are allowed to telework part-time or even full-time in China. Here is a snapshot from China Daily.
IBM - Over 80% of 9,000 employees in China work flexibly. Tens of them work full-time at home.
Microsoft - All of Microsoft’s over 2,000 employees in China work flexibly. Over 1,000 employees in the SMG (Sales, Marketing & Service Group) are allowed to work from home two days per month.
Hewlett-Packard - All of the employees in China HP’s corporate communications department are allowed to work from home one day per week.
Panasonic - Over 30,000 employees of the company’s employees in Japan allowed to work one or two days per week at home since March 2007. No similar plan in China.
I would really appreciate such a plan being started by the company I’m working for…
