Workers Like WFH, Their Bosses, Maybe Not So Much

Employees generally report in surveys that they prefer working from home, and often also report they believe they are more productive working from home, than working in the office. Executives might not agree. Remote workers are harder to manage, for example.

The issue is that large remote workforces are very hard to support, train and evaluate, says Bill Barney, Asian Century Equity chairman.

The issue seems to extend beyond cultural issues, such as some executives being uncomfortable with supervising remote workers. Not every employee, in every business function, actually works at a job allowing for effective productivity measurements.
