Sometimes – sometimes not, Cheryl. Doubt that the Greek people find them helpful:-)

Jeri, sometimes working from home is not a good idea for larger companies. Some of us are used to working out of hotels and from home and don't find it difficult to be diciplined. However, far from all people can do it.

I don't think any one policy is always right, but more often than not free markets are probably more helpful than not. My recent post Motivational Monday: Quote

She's got it right. This is the era of social. Businesses cannot remain viable without social. They have to participate and respond. It's entirely different paradigm from previous generations.

For many, there is still the fear that workers will be less productive if they work from home. It's great to be able to have that option, but it's not an option with every business or with every person. I think it's harder to separate work time from downtown when one works from home.

Smart companies have included customers in the past and will continue to do this. What the networking platforms have done is help smaller companies connect throughout the world and with customers and other businesses. Some will use it to advantage and others will ignore the opportunity. The one thing to remember is sometimes the ones that complain etc online are the vocal minority which companies need to be aware of. My recent post What Should You Feature To Attract New Customers?

When it comes to at least some of the larger organizations, they fail with customer service whether it's online or in-person. Sad isn't it? I mean they could really have their customer service reputation sore up up up by responding quickly. Opportunity missed for sure. Valuable insights here, thanks Catarina.
