What are the pitfalls of having people work from home?

Many companies now allow employees to work from a home office, either on a part-time, full-time or temporary basis. With access to electronic data and the Internet, employees can connect to the office and communicate through email, telephone and text messaging.

To avoid pitfalls that might surface after putting someone to work in a home office, it is good to review various aspects of the employee’s job, job performance, operational considerations and the effect on other employees.
