Normally , i don't care where does the resource do his work .

I assign to him some work which we did the estimation .

It depends on type of payment whether you are following piece rate or time rate as piece rate will encourage him to do his best while time rate is not appropriate for this situation second the quality assurance snd control will be at lower levels except by affording and controlling the components used for production Third its hard to build loyalty to the business as the employee is not involved with the business and probably no fringe benefits forth this type of employees can be effective in job production methods as the business is following tailored production not flow production fifth communication would be at lower level and details of the required job is not available on the spot sixth its only suitable for small businesses to follow this type of production while medium and large businesses not finally its not recommended to follow this type of production as it is not efficient

It is fine, I think, but some jobs need the attendance of the employee in the office.

For me if an employee is productive from home he must be productive from office also, unless he has special type of job, working in office maintains decipline also.

For somebody to effectively work from home what matters the most is that person's timely completion of the assigned job with best possible level of accuracy. At the end, what matters the most is the completion of job not how it has been done.

Transactional jobs can be done by employees from home as they generally do not require major discussions/etc. But I believe strategic jobs do not give you the expected results when done from home - due to the disturbances one may experience. So I think ideally an employee can be assessed on his/her transactional deliverables through TAT's and Quality levels when done from home.

That he should practice himself more to be productive working from the office.                Thank You. 

First, thank you for your trustSecond / work from home or remotely be only when necessary

 

Third / it is working in this way with experience and practice

New employees must give them the courses, but are well trained and this needs for a long time too

Production is the goal of the economy and the business should be noted carefully because it builds the homeland and passes them on to the top level

Finally it depends on the size of the enterprise, company or organization and the size of the business
