How will our non-telecommuting workers adapt to their telecommuting co-workers when they aren at the office?
Communication is the key. When employees are at off-site meetings, on vacation, or ill, co-workers generally accept these absences because they are usually communicated. Telecommuting schedules must also be communicated. Managers should discuss telecommuter schedules at staff meetings and obtain non-telecommuting co-worker feedback. Co-workers should know how to contact telecommuters in the event of a business emergency. Telecommuters should post their schedules at the office, on their voicemail, and in their e-mail.
