It is estimated that by 2010 there will be 20 million full‐ and part‐time telecommuters working in the United States. The purpose of this article is to assist employment counselors in their work with organizations in implementing e‐worker programs as well as in their counseling of e‐workers. The authors define e‐worker, summarize the growth of e‐worker programs, outline benefits and drawbacks to teleworking, discuss critical elements of a successful teleworker program, and elaborate on potential strategies for becoming a successful e‐worker.
