You're an employer who realizes that not every employee has to come into the office every day for maximum productivity. But before letting them loose to work in their pajamas, get a Telecommuting Agreement to put a work form home policy in place. More companies are realizing the benefits of letting employees work from home. And happy employees are productive employees. A Telecommuting Agreement spells out the expectations of the teleworking policy arrangement.
If you're a business owner who's about to let workers take care of business from their couch, kudos to you. Just make sure a Telecommuting Agreement is signed first. Not every employee is cut out for working from home, and not every position can allow it. However, when it works, it can lead to greater employee happiness and productivity. You can up your odds for success by making sure your employees understand your expectations. Do they need to be at the computer during certain hours? Are there video conferences where dress codes are still enforced? Do they need to "clock in" virtually? Your Telecommuting Agreement can help ensure that both the employer and employees make the most of working from anywhere.
