Nortel Buzzboard

A few months ago, Nortel issued a social media release on teleworking titled “Breaking the Pajama Stereotype.”  In that release, one of our most active teleworking advocates — April Dunford — talked about the misconceptions of the work habits of teleworkers.  You can also see a video she did here as part of the social media release.

That release and the related video turned out to be two of the most popular items we published this summer, suggesting that teleworking is a topic of broad interest.

But the misconceptions of teleworker productivity also mask the big cost savings that can be achieved. For Nortel, the real estate and operational savings for teleworkers can be as much as $12,000 per user per year. And, if the teleworker only works from home one day a week, they can also prevent 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions over the course of a year.

This week, April Dunford continues the rise of her teleworking celebrity status as the focus of a new video feature video on forbes.com.  You can see that video below.
