Telecommuting may hurt career advancement: survey
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Employees who frequently work from home may be hurting their chances to advance their careers, a survey by Korn/Ferry International reported on Tuesday.
So-called 'telecommuters' are less likely to advance than peers who work in traditional office settings, according to 61 percent of the 1,300 global executives surveyed. That's even though some three-quarters of executives consider telecommuters to be as productive as their desk-bound colleagues, the survey found.
Workers climbing the corporate ladder need 'face time,' said Robert McNabb, chief executive of Korn/Ferry's Futurestep division, which provides recruitment outsourcing services and conducted the survey.
"Corporate America (wants) people to make a commitment to live in corporate headquarters, to have face time with the board, to be in every planning and strategy session -- not virtually, but in person," McNabb said.
Many employers have not yet embraced flexible work schedules, which are popular with workers seeking a better work-life balance, McNabb added. Companies are willing to be flexible with their mid-level workers, but more senior managers have fewer options.
"They want to be able to call on you at any given time," he said
