The major problem most managers have with supervising teleworkers is the loss of control it entails. And unless the tasks to be completed outside of the office can be objectively measured in some way, managers basically have to trust that their staff members aren't slacking off. From an employee's perspective, one problem can be maintaining the necessary motivation to complete the tasks that have been set. This is especially the case where a specific job is open-ended, such as researching a business issue using the resources of the Internet.
