Article : Potential Pitfalls with Remote Workers

We keep hearing about all the positive things that a remote worker program can bring to a company, but surely there are still some negative aspects that need to be addressed. We asked industry professionals what they believe to be the potential pitfalls of employing remote workers.

Sarah-Jane Heber-Hall
Operations Director
Computertel Ltd.
United Kingdom

"From an employee's perspective, they sometimes feel excluded from the company as a whole, can sometimes feel less motivated, as they miss out on regular feedback, office banter and relationship building with the internal customer. From an employer's perspective, a different style of management is required and a bigger element of trust required to make remote working successful."

 
Natalie Romano
Managing Director
Avaya
United States

"Building the "team" mindset and relationships with coworkers and management is more challenging.
Ability to conduct team building initiatives is reduced
Depending on the technology requirements of the remote worker, potential quality of service issues may arise impacting customer satisfaction, FCR, etc. (i.e. IP calls with poor quality, DSL or Cable modem drops mid call, etc.) Planning is key and requirements must be clearly documented, communicated and validated on a regular basis to ensure standards are being met"

ie. feeling of isolation.,"

Richard Melling
Director
Wavenet
United Kingdom

"not having an adequate hosted system for remote workers to use effectively- if there is no accountability for time and performance then remote workers can 'hide'. ALso training can be more problematic, but this too can be solved with good remote systems allowing supervisoer listening and scoring."

About Wavenet

"Honestly cant think of any, other than making sure that the remote agents really want to be working at home. People seeking full time "Bricks and Mortar" work will invariably return to that environment."

 


"Social isolation, lack of reliable equipment, technology issues- computer slowness, voice quality"
