There are naturally going to be some disadvantages to employees working at home but most of these relate to those who are predominantly full times at home, as opposed to part of their working week: For the employer there is the difficulty in monitoring performance, increased telecommunication costs and possibly an increased information security risk. Most of this can be overcome by separating time between home and the workplace with scheduled weekly/monthly meetings to keep them fully involved and informed.
