From the Institute of Leadership and Management: Employer support ‘helps people be productive at home’
A study by Brigham Young University showed that home based workers did a better job of balancing home and work life. But one success factor seems to be employer support.
Employer support at a minimum means supporting the technological infrastructure to allow suitably motivated people the opportunity to work at home. But because working environments are social networks, there are non technological forms of support that make sure home based workers are not treated as “second class” when it comes to opportunities and advancement that are very important as well.
