Survey on
E-Working Trends.


E-working is a way of working.  E-workers use computers and telephone lines to receive and deliver work regardless of location.  Working in this way, e-workers can service your organization's needs from a home office, a serviced center or whilst on the move.  The basic principle of e-working is that work is what people do, not a place they go to.

GTI Learning.com, in association with the E-Business School of Ireland, invite you to take part in the survey below.  The survey's objective is to measure as far as it is possible, the current state of e-working and to identify trends in terms of company's future plans with regard to e-working.

As a reward for participation in our survey, you will be entered into a special draw to be held on the 31st of August 2001 in which one lucky participant will receive Free Courses from GTI for the following 12 months!  That's well over $1,500 USD worth of training! 

All participants will also be registered with our GTI Passport Program.
