Thanks to you for getting the thought process started on this. I've met some very interesting people as a result. Some of whom are doing some really neat things in this space. FWIW, I agree with you completely. Institutions are losing the ability to control the flow of information (something they've been controlling for almost 500 years) and I think that once that happens the idea of controlling workers will evaporate as well. I suspect that those who foster a virtual workforce, sooner rather than later, will have a leg up on all of their competitors. You’re welcome!

The bottom line, for me, is that organization's will NOT be able to discard the notion of virtual workers. The talent forecast data for the near future shows us how the Millenial (Gen Y) generation will be our workers - just by sheer numbers of Gen Y's (a boom) to numbers of Gen Xers. Gen Y will demand a new way of working - working hard, but having a life (no more work-life balance). Once this occurs, the organizations will catch up with the virtual arena.

Thanks for stopping by. That's a very valid point. My experience has been that virtual employees are almost always less expensive in terms of dollars and cents. It's the emotional or "people" expense that tends to be high. And again, that depends on the person. Hi!
