Morale
Since employees who work remotely don’t or can’t be in the office, they may have a feeling of being left out or disconnected from the office.
Team Dynamics
Interpersonal relationships with co-workers is one of the most important aspects of work. Human beings are a social species that relies on cooperation to survive and thrive.
Time Theft and Sick Time Fraud
While most remote employees are honest and some of the issues of working from home is working too much, things can also go the other way that offer opportunities for fraud.
Ethics
Having a sound Ethics policy that is reviewed annually both internally with senior management, as well as with each employee shows that the company believes in and supports proper ethical behaviour.
Communication
Lack of communication between team members can seriously affect the outcome of a project and can even make it fail.
Poor Mental & Physical Health
Workers who work remotely often feel unmotivated, lonely and like they are working all the time, not able to separate work from non-work hours.
Lower Productivity
Some remote employees say they experience boosted productivity. Without chatty coworkers, frequent meetings, and the stress of a commute, they can focus and accomplish more tasks.
