Question

For management, a major downside of telecommuting is ________. decreased collaboration reduced morale increased turnover decreased productivity difficulty in scheduling work

Answer 1

Answer:

A. decreased collaboration.

Explanation:

Telecommuting can be defined as a process which typically involves the act of completing work assignments or tasks from a location other than the employer's office environment, through the use of modern technology (internet) and tools such as smartphones, tablets, software applications etc.

Hence, this arrangement avails an employee the ability or opportunity to work from home for at least two (2) days in a week depending on the contractual agreement reached with his or her employer.

However, for management, a major downside of telecommuting is decreased collaboration because more often than not, the employees work remotely and as such it is an individual effort rather than as a team.
