[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you handle a problematic employee who wasn't meeting expectations if they were fully in the office?

Do the same thing with remote employees.

The remote work isn't the problem. They are not doing their work without being micromanaged-- THAT is the problem. Put them on a PIP if needed. If they can't handle the job then you let them go and find someone who can. Leave the remote aspect out of it because at the end of the day, it's irrelevant.[/quote]

I think this is a good step. However, it’s important to frame work from home as a benefit and not something to take for granted—much like a bonus.

Tell everyone that they can apply for work from home at the start of the quarter. It will be approved or denied based on performance.

No way.  Just hire the remote team, set expectations and be prepared to fire people if they aren’t delivering.

Why on earth do you people have such a hard time with this??? Being in the office makes no damn difference—people that don’t work at home, don’t work any better in the office, and I don’t have time to hold their hands.[/quote]
