Employees who work remotely 100 percent of the time are the least likely to be engaged, according to a recent Gallup study. Over the past four years, the percentage of employees who work remotely full time has increased from 15 to 20 percent, and this figure is expected to keep growing. According to Gallup, the most successful work-from-home programs are those that are disciplined in creating structured processes and plans to equip their remote workers with the tools and support they need to get their jobs done. Effective management and clear lines of communication are the keys to a successful work-from-home program.
