Summary

Does your business need more employees but you don't have the office space to accommodate them? Do you want to promote a flexible work environment, but fear losing profits? Off-site staff may be the answer. The changing face of today's workplace means that employers need to seek alternative solutions to accommodate the needs of workers and expand their businesses. Major changes in demographics, technology and globalization are affecting the workforce and this means that companies today must be able to adapt to the needs of workers to attract and keep the best. Managing Off-site Staff provides managers with the tools they need to set up and maintain a productive telecommuting program that benefits both employees and employers. Telecommuting is no longer exclusive to Fortune 500 companies. This book bridges the gap between the unique needs of the small-business employer and the knowledge base and resources typically available to much larger firms. The author takes the experiences of large firms working with off-site staff and focuses them exclusively on the needs of smaller businesses.
