II. Meeting Objectives

1. Whether to implement work-from-home policy

2. Deliberate advantages and disadvantages of implementing work-from-home policy

III. Remarks

Matthew provided some background on the issue, explaining that the team has expressed strong
desire for the organization to establish a clear policy on work-from-home setup. He noted that
some employees find it challenging to concentrate in a busy office environment, and they want
their remote work to be endorsed by an official policy.

Advantages Disadvantages

● Flexible working schedule, especially ● Expensive costing

for employees with families ● Workplace distractions
● Generate more input ● Insurance and health and safety
● Increase productivity implications
 IV. Resolutions and Recommendations

● Matthew emphasized the competitive nature of the industry and the need for exploring
flexibility and family-friendly working options further.

● There were strong arguments in favor of flexibility, including accommodating employees with
families and addressing the challenges posed by the busy and crowded office environment.

● The proposed setup was less attractive for Rachel's team, and concerns were raised about
the associated costs.

● It was briefly emphasized that the financial statement for the year had already been
presented, and realistic expectations should be set for the work-from-home setup given
available resources.

● Samantha suggested that Matthew and John research the proposal further, including
gathering information about how other organizations implemented the setup, the associated
costs, and insurance implications. They were tasked with presenting this information at the
next meeting.
