This is the perfect time to make major changes to policy if you find that something doesn't work or is impractical. Finally, once things are going smoothly with your pilot program, it is time to make a more general rollout. Education is the key here. Make sure that prospective employees understand and agree to the policies and procedures that you have set up. Things will go much more smoothly if everyone involved understands their responsibilities and how those will change for the telecommuting worker.
Telecommuting can be a great benefit for both the businesses and the employees involved.
Employees save time and stress by eliminating their commute, they have fewer distractions, and they can work on a more flexible schedule. Businesses see key benefits in drawing from a larger pool of potential employees, keeping existing employees happier, and reaping the increased productivity of those telecommuting workers. Of course, there are downsides to telecommuting as well. But with an extra effort toward communication and with a good set of policies in place, the benefits can far outweigh the downsides.
