Problem of Teleworking

After one week of allowing people to work from home, I have found the biggest problem with it. If your job is doing the routine work like bookkeeping, almost all work can be done by teleworking. But anything that require management, supervision, training, customer interaction cannot be fully accomplished by teleworking.

If you are an entrepreneur and make decision and change direction on a daily bases, telecommuters are very difficult control. I have to adjust not to change or delay reaction. So, it is like you are a captain of the ship and you want to change heading or change speed, you cannot just do that. Instead you need to tell people to do it but you will not know when that will take place.

Also you cannot trying anyone by teleworking. So, by moving to telework, you need to stop your training process. This does not apply only to new employee but people trying to start something new.

At the end, telework is good to just maintain what you have. Not for when you want to grow your company by trying many things. I really hope this Coronavirus Pandemic will be over soon.
