HOME WORKERS

There are some clear attractions of employing home workers:

For some, it is seen as a significant benefit and they will take a lower salary if they have this benefit. This will be especially the case for those who wish to work part time, but is often applicable to full time workers as well.
It eliminates the costs and the effects of commuting.
It enables you to employ people who would not be willing either to relocate or to travel to your office.
It reduces your overheads as the employee covers many of the costs of their office.

Yet home working has its downside: from the employee's perspective, home workers can feel isolated - most people value the camaraderie of work. From the employer's perspective, home workers can be difficult to manage because it is difficult to know what they are doing. They cannot necessarily be trusted to work productively. Protronics Remote Office Solutions can go some way towards resolving the problems with home working, while delivering the benefits. Ensuring that the remote user is tightly integrated with the office systems removes some of the sense of isolation; for example, providing full and continuous access to the companies internal e-mail system reduces the sense that they are an external worker. Equally, the home worker's activity becomes more immediately and fully visible to others, which facilitates management.

While home working is not appropriate to everyone, Protronics provide systems that make it more appropriate for more people, to the mutual benefit of both employer and employee.
