The use of remote resources who work from a home office has potential advantages, such as enhanced productivity and motivation, cost savings, and personal
and organizational flexibility. It also has potential
disadvantages such as isolation, lack of direct
supervision and communication, and increased travel
expenditures. Constructing a win-win solution for remote
resources, their managers, and their co-workers involves
consistently using imaginative solutions to maximize the advantages of the situation and to minimize its
disadvantages. Examples include using differences in
work schedules and time zones to create a 'second
shift.' Successful outcomes also require an increased
emphasis on structured two-way communication.
