Study Shows a Productivity Boost of Working From Home
First para hits the nail on the head. The issue is: trust between managers and employees.<p>Also, &quot;work from home&quot; paradigm will only succeed when management paradigm changes from managing time to managing outcome. And changing that management style is not easy. Managing outcomes requires managers to understand not only the strategic agendas set by the bosses higher up but also the technical paths to achieve them confronted by the &quot;serfs&quot; under. It also requires that managers themselves are empowered to make decisions on budgets and execute on outcomes - managers who can&#x27;t make decisions daily without checking in on higher up bosses for authorisation will be unlikely to agree to a work from home scenario.
