Another aspect to consider is how the team will react to having one of its members telecommute and not be with the team. Will it be perceived as undue favoritism or will they recognize that it’s appropriate for that individual? Is telecommuting an option that is open to all members of the team, even if some choose not to do it? If so, there may be less resistance to letting an employee telecommute. This is not a major consideration in your decision about whether or not to allow an employee to work from home, but it is one you should at least consider.
