Fortune magazine just announced its annual roundup of the 100 best employers and guess what’s common to 84 of them? Ding, ding, ding—tell ‘em what they’ve won Johnny? That’s right, a free pair of bunny slippers.

Wow, 84 out of 100 top employers trust their employees to work from home, all by themselves, without adult supervision. Welcome to the 21st century!

Here are the most enlightened among them:

Company and their % of Regular Telecommuters

  • Cisco 70%
  • eBay 48%
  • Booz Allen Hamilton 34%
  • S.C. Johnson & Son 32%
  • American Fidelity Assurance 30%
  • Shared Technologies 26%
  • Principal Financial Group 23%
  • Goldman Sachs 22%
  • Yahoo 20%
  • Qualcomm 18%

As for the rest of employers who are still stuck in the dark ages, wake up and smell the exhaust. Whodoya figure’s attracting the best people?

    I have recently started a home business with discount prescriptions, organic
    remedies, vitamins, and pet rx’s. They tell me it is very hard to be recognized or
    found on the net without spending lots of money in advertising. Can you tell me the
    best and fastest way to get my web site exposed without going into debt? Thank you

    Do something outrageous and make sure the press knows about it, especially if it’s something that benefits charity. Use the free press release distribution services.
