Hi
We are a food manufacturing company and we are recruiting for a site manager. We found a good candidate but they are wanting to work from home one day a week. This is something we do not currently do as a standard practice for operational roles, especially a senior role of site manager. I would be interested to hear if others allow this and what your experiences are? Good and bad?
Thank you
Whether or not this might work for your organisation is so dependent upon the particular circumstances that I really can’t see much value in knowing how many others allow it or how it works out for them in particular. An effective manager will probably make it work well and vice versa. For example, managers in similar positions are typically very frequently working physically distant from the site they manage and still ‘manage’ the place successfully.
So, wouldn’t really see this as much if anything of a stumbling block, necessarily and if all else looks good, probably worth a trial?
