Do you feel people working from home work harder, about the same or less than those working in an office environment
"Whether in an office or at home, a person’s work ethic should be the same. At Working Solutions, we screen for agents who perform well on their own or as part of a team, wherever they work. The persona we want is one of a pro who’s comfortable in a remote position. At home, agents enjoy the flexibility to work the hours they choose. From that standpoint, they can select times when they feel most productive, even if it’s before dawn or late at night. While agents don’t have the distraction of coworkers interrupting them, they must manage interruptions from family and pets. Most of all, they love customer service. They possess a passion for solving problems. They, in fact, seek out opportunities to go beyond for the customers. It’s in their nature. That’s why they’re in service."
