The benefits of hiring and managing remote working employees, such as cost savings, and greater morale and productivity, have been well-documented. But there are challenges – understanding the personality traits that make an effective remote worker, creating the technology plan for home offices, helping managers create accountability without micromanagement – that has kept most companies on the sidelines for this important workplace evolution. Fall too far behind in this change, and you risk losing valuable employees to organizations willing to support flexible work.
