If you work from home, you've probably gotten an eye roll or two from your office-bound friends. But as consultant Scott Edinger explains, working from home or in a remote office can lead to increased productivity, more effective communication, and better teamwork.

That is not my experience. Edit: Oh, wait, it says "or in a remote office" -- that I have experienced, but after they kicked me out of the remote office and made me work from home I got hardly anything done.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

Inability to divorce oneself from the comforts and distractions at home. Not something I ever suffered from and I was always more productive working from home.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I found it cut both ways, if you have all of the resources you need, work will get done faster without distractions. There are a ton of benefits for the employer, but consider all of the benefits the potential benefits and drawbacks for yourself. I have worked: - 45 minutes away from my office: Driving the 1.5 hours a day felt like a waste of time. - Split between work and home This was great, however I replaced that extra 1.5 hours working to get more done. - Exclusively at home This was fantastic at first. However the lines blurred between work and home. I found I felt like I always needed to be at my computer just in case... Also, isolation started to set in. - 2 minutes away from home This felt like a great improvement over working exclusively at home. Very convenient, had this position for 6 years. I didn't realize the drawbacks until I switched to my current job. - Now I have a 15 minute commute. Something magical happens on my short drive home... my mind shifts from the problems I was solving that day to how I will enjoy my time at home. When I was working from home, or just next to my office, I never was able to disconnect and isolate the two places. I appreciate having the capability to login remotely in the evenings so I only have to spend 8 hours a day in the office and if extra time is required, I can do it at leisure at home. I don't think I will ever accept a job where I work exclusively from home again.

but how would an employer determine if the remote worker is not just surfing pron?
