In India, working at home full-time is on the rise, the Indian media reports, as more companies discover that "face time" isn't always necessary, and that telework increases retention and cuts costs.
HR experts, too, cite the increased "employee engagement" that can come with letting people work from home, as a recent piece in India's Business Today emphasized.

The growing international green movement will also accelerate these trends…and soon, we hope!
