Abstract

'Tele' means distance. The term 'teleport', means 'distant place of working'. In practice, however, it refers to a specific mode of distant working, their services, using telemetric, on a site which is geographically separated from the main office. 'Telemetries' refers to a combination of information and technologies which connect the computers of employees to the computer of the main employing organization. As the current ratio of services being delivered on-site is 40 per cent or more, most Indian companies have a long way to go to move up the value chain in promoting home-based work which allow companies to use certain categories of employees effectively and profitably. The rapid spread of information technology combined with the deregulation and upgrading of telecommunications in virtually all countries has given considerable impetus to outsourcing or delocalization of work. The development of teleporting represents a convergence of a number of different trends, many of which have major implications for environmental, social and economic policy. How the industry, the governments and the policy-makers respond to these changes will seriously impact the future of the economy, on the employment possibilities as well as the quality of work life of people, especially women employees in the same field.
