Work at home moms:
Explain to your employer how letting you work at home is good for business!
Work at home is not only good for you, your spouse and your children, work at home is good for society as a whole. But the one who benefits the most might be your own boss. 
AT&T realized over 150 million dollars in benefit to its virtual office operations in one year alone. Work at home programs of smaller companies may realize a much smaller but far more far-reaching and dramatic benefit.
According to AT&T, a work at home or telecommuting pioneer and has been conducting virtual employment/telecommuting research since 1992, there are many benefits to employers who offer work at home jobs, as well as numerous and important benefits to families and society as a whole. There are also benefits to AT&T, a global networking company, as more and more companies convert to networked virtual or work at home employment environments instead of traditional brick and mortar environments.
Among the main benefits to companies who allow their employees to telecommute or work at home are: increased productivity, reduced overhead costs, less turnover, happier employees and big advantages in recruiting. Ironically, companies who offer work at home opportunities to their employees and prospective employees, especially when recruiting stay at home moms and parents, find themselves with a huge advantage over competitors who do not allow their employees to telecommute, while at the same time reducing their overhead and hiring costs.

Companies who allow moms to work at home on computer networks instead of brick and mortar offices realize many other benefits as well. Companies who allow moms to telecommute or offer work at home jobs can recruit from virtually anywhere and have no relocation costs associated with employees who do not live within commuting distance to a traditional brick and mortar office. Additionally, companies can recruit employees who are not willing to relocate and employees, like you, who are not willing to give up raising their children to take a traditional jobs.
Today's moms want more. They want to be able to work, but they want to be able to work at home.
Allowing your employees to work at home is good for business and it's just plain good.
