When you call a company for help booking a hotel room, ordering flowers or inquiring about cell phone service, you might just be talking to a home based customer service agent. These days, many companies are figuring out that hiring professional help desk agents to work remotely from home just makes good business sense – they save money on overhead costs and, at the same time employ a happy, productive workforce.
Working from home is ideal for many, especially those that want to set their own hours and would like to skip the costs associated with a “traditional” office job. Home agents save money on office attire as well as commuting expenses. Most companies that employ home workers allow flexible schedules, full or part time, night or day.
