Do most teleworker gain weight?
Many people fear weight gain when they begin telework, because they will have easy access to food. While it is easy to gain weight when you are working at home, this can also be true at the office. The key in both situations is self-control and discipline. A teleworker must learn to concentrate on work, rather than the next trip to the refrigerator. This discipline must then carry over into other distractions that present themselves in the home, such as television, personal phone calls, housework, etc. It all comes back to selecting the right person to telecommute. A self-motivated, punctual and diligent employee will control the distractions and focus on the work at hand. An employee who is not responsible will be easily distracted at home, and at the office as well, and won’t be a good candidate for telecommuting.
