Homesourcing or Not?

Due to the high fuel prices and the advanced technology in today’s world many companies are choosing to homesource.  JetBlue is just one of the many companies that are choosing to homesource.  Within the next few years, it is believed that homesourcing will triple.  Since the fuel prices are going through the roof, if many companies are not letting their employees homesource their employees are living around the area they are working in.

 

I think homesourcing is a wonderful idea.  Many families have a hard time balancing their work schedules and children. With homesourcing, life would just be so much simpler.  Instead of having to take the kids to daycare and being rushed in the morning, you would be able to work around your schedule.

 

I personally would not choose to homesource.  I would not want do this because I would be home all the time and I wouldn’t get to see many people.  If I had to work at home, I think I would find myself being distracted by doing other things.  If things came down to it and I had no say in homesourcing I think I would be able to do it if my family’s wellbeing depended on it.
