Jobs that Aren't ROWE-able

September 4, 2008 by gjason

I've recently read the book and am very interested in starting a ROWE at my organization. My main concern is how to handle a small number of job positions that I don't believe are ROWE-able. We currently have a staff of 15, and most job duties could be integrated in a ROWE through the use of technology (laptops, cell phones, etc). However, I have a few positions that require a physical presence during certain hours of the day - for example, a receptionist that is needed to answer phones and greet visitors during office hours, and employees to staff a small retail sales counter.

Does anyone else have any experience in a situation like this, where most employees work in a ROWE but a few do not? Are there any issues of the non-ROWE staff being jealous or resentful of the other employees? What other issues could possibly come up?
