[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with 10:12.  Probably less than half of employees in my org cannot work independently, or have jobs that require they are physically present due to the nature of the job.

The idea that all, or even most, employees are capable of sustained output while at home is silly.  Most employees are just that--employees.  They work hard, but you must hold them accountable.  [/quote]

OP here. Who said anything about not holding employees accountable?? They are in fact MORE accountable, because they can't point to all that dedicated coming in early and staying late to get them through a rough review. It is only the work that matters. And I think you might be surprised how many people would step up to the challenge, in order to have this level of freedom. In any case, folks CAN choose to work from the office, for the parts of their job that require that, or for the structure that it offers. In my company, I'd say three-quarters of our staff is in the office at least three days out of five, during "normal" work hours. A couple are there every day, without fail. A lot of us find it valuable to get away from the house. For my own job, I need certain physical files that live in the office, so I'm in about every other day.

Also, you will attract a better quality of employee if you show that you respect and trust them to deliver. You can get rid of those that are basically just warming a chair, and replace them with people who [i]work. [/i][/quote]
