If we let on person telework, won't we have to let everyone do it?
No. Employees must understand that teleworking is 1 possible alternative work arrangement, not a universal benefit.

Also, not every job or person is suited for a teleworking arrangement. Successful telecommuters must be self-motivated, responsible and results-oriented. They must be able to work independently, be familiar with the requirements of their job, knowledgeable about the organization's procedures, and successful in their current position. Finally, they must be effective communicators, who are adaptable and committed to teleworking.
