Description	The mobility and ubiquity of information and communication technologies facilitate, complement and enhance communication between home workers and family members throughout the day. A host of forces in North America have been making work more mobile. Accelerating the trend is the corporate shift in developed countries from making, growing, mining and transporting things—atom-work—to selling, describing, and analyzing things via words and pictures—bit-work—ideas expressed in words, pictures or videos. Mobile phones can provide easy and quick instrumental interactions that help people maintain a work-life balance. Workplace policies stem from workplace cultures, and work culture is an important impetus of role overload; when organizations are supportive of work-life balance, role overload is greatly reduced. Categorizing the percentage of a person's work week spent at home based on typical work per week helps to differentiate the experiences of people who work at home in various capacities.
