Discussion Two:  Application

Read the Module 5 Case and in-depth scenario 1. After reviewing the module material, answer the following taken from the module:

A) Is allowing some employees to work from home “unfair” to other  employees who do not work from home? Why or why not? How will you handle  potential conflicts between employees over this issue?

B) Assuming some employees will be allowed to work from home, how  will HSS determine which employees will be allowed to work from home?  How will you manage the performance of employees who work from home?

C) Write a brief memo (1–2 paragraphs) to the board of directors,  either justifying the expansion of telecommuting for software developers  at HSS or stating why telecommuting should not be allowed for software  developers at HSS. In your memo, include some discussion of why it is  important to have a clear policy on this issue.
