But, according to a research report recently published by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the reason is not improved technology, as most people assume, but rather shifts in workforce demographics and priorities. Research indicates that telecommuting and other flexible work arrangements can also help employers tap into more diverse talent pools, including people with disabilities.
