Q1 : Define the problem described in this case. What are the management, organization, and
technology issues raised by this problem?
Increased isolation
You can become quite isolated working from home if you spend the majority of
your time by yourself, working independently. The key to avoiding loneliness and
isolation as a remote worker is to schedule outings and events with friends and
family..

Home office costs

If you want to set up a desk, chair and other furniture, you can expect to cover some
initial costs to get your home office organized. Keep your costs low by spending only
what you need to perform your job.

Risk of overworking
Telecommuting also comes with the risk of working longer than you should. This can definitely lead to
burn-out and increased work-related stress. You can avoid this by clearly defining your schedule and
allocating specific times for your job tasks and personal tasks.

Risk to productivity
Although working from home can help increase your productivity, it can also be a challenge to it. With the
freedom to move around and take breaks whenever the mood arises, it might be difficult to stay focused on
the tasks you're working on.

Distractions at home
Distractions like the television, pets or household chores can affect how you perform your job. Too many distractions can
lead to a decrease in your productivity and motivation. You can avoid this by limiting anything that you find distracting in your
home.
