Work from home challenges


Working at home is both a blessing and a curse for employer and employee equally. The perfect storm of position responsibilities, company culture and employee aptitude can make a work at home situation very successful. I find that a situation bringing all these things together is rather uncommon. So while many employees want to work from home part or full time, very few will actually succeed in doing so. A peer whose work at home situation is interfering with a team project or group goal should be addressed in the the same manner as any other non-performing employee. The issue of lack of performance should be escalated to her/your supervisor so management can look into it. Everyone has a home life, and often a busy one, but work at home does not mean work takes a backseat to home activities on those days. And as always when everyone is being respectful, it’s all good.
