As a regular telecommuter, I sometimes miss the corporate culture and chemistry of my colleagues on the days I work from home, despite the many obvious benefits derived from telecommuting. As such, the days I do come into the office are enriched because I look forward to the in-person meetings and brainstorming sessions—those face-to-face meetings that seem more powerful because I am in there the room.

However, how many meetings do we attend that actually require us to be physically present? Knowing that both in-person and online meetings are here to stay, can we as telecommuters schedule our work week to maintain the crucial balance between two? As meeting experts, PGi constantly strives to understand how we incorporate various media and methods into our everyday business life to make our meetings successful. By accessing available meeting tools, we can create the optimal meeting environment and encourage collaboration, engagement and connection in both virtual and face-to-face settings.
