Telecommuting is Good Business with FreedomIQ VOIP Hosted PBX

FreedomVOICE has developed a powerful tool to manage telecommuting with their FreedomIQ VOIP hosted PBX. Telecommuting employees are highly mobile, working from home offices, remote work sites, or while traveling. With FreedomIQ Follow-Me-Live call forwarding, incoming phone calls can reach the employee no matter where they are or what type of phone they are using. Since a VOIP hosted PBX uses the internet to transmit calls, the reach of FreedomIQ is not limited to in-office call transfer like a hardwired PBX.

Telecommuting helps recruit and retain valuable workers. According to a survey conducted by LifeCare, one of the largest privately owned employee benefits organizations in the U.S., flexible work arrangements mattered more to personnel than health care. Robert Half International asked CFOs what incentive was the most effective in attracting top accounting candidates. Telecommuting was listed as the top incentive by a surprising 33% of respondents.
