As a manager, much of the responsibility for the success of your organization's telework program will
fall to you. The manager is the one who determines which employees are permitted to telework, monitors
their progress, provides support and encouragement, and determines if they are productive at telework.
For some mangers, becoming effective at managing teleworkers will mean a change in management style and
technique; specifically from managing by observing to managing by results. These changes will definitely
enhance your own skill set and increase your value to the organization. Welcome to the 21st century and
the world of telework.
If you haven't already done so, read Benefits
for Organizations and Q&A for Organizations in the
About Telework section of the toolkit.
