Assignment Overview
Telecommuting
With technological advancements, many employees are able to work from home one or more days per week. Telecommuting is becoming more popular and allows an employee to take advantage of technology and complete tasks from home or a coffee shop. With globalization and organizations hiring employees from different countries, it becomes imperative for employers to embrace telecommuting because of the added benefits for not only the employees but also the employer. Some of the advantages for both the employer and employees are highlighted in the following table:
Telecommuting Benefits
Interestingly enough in February 2013, the CEO of Yahoo (Marissa Mayer) implemented a policy to stop the company’s popular working-from-home program. According to Cohan (2013), a memo sent to Yahoo employees emphasized the following:
- “We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.”
- “Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings.”
- “Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home.”
Although Marissa Mayer of Yahoo has been widely criticized for her decision, it is important to note that she has to look out for what is in her organization’s best interest. As a CEO, difficult decisions must be made that may not always satisfy and resonate with all employees.
