Most people dream about having the chance to work remotely. Working in your pajamas with a pet on your lap—what is not to love about it? However, some employees may not be completely sold on the idea. Worst-case scenario visions may pop into their head: employees slacking off due to at-home distractions, employees complaining about not having a work/life balance, or miscommunication when you rely on video conferences. As an entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience managing teams, I can vouch that your concerns are legitimate.However, it does not have to be that way. I’ve changed my mind, and perhaps you will too. I’ve embraced the fact that working remotely is productive when you have the right processes in place. You can smoothly transition from a full office staff to a remote environment. And you may be glad you did, once you see how well technology can support your business.
