| Q. Dear Bill, |
| |
I am interested in starting up a home-based business, and am looking into hiring another 1-2 individuals for administrative as well as sales support. As this will be my ‘first kick at the can’, I wanted to find out what an appropriate home-office environment provides, and how should I set it up. I want my employees to be comfortable and maintain retention. Any advice on what resources to invest in?

| A. Dear I.S., |
| |
The home-based office can be a difficult environment for other employees, and can hamper productivity. A few things to consider before making a final decision, is how to control other household members and eliminate disturbances, separate telephone lines, fax, & voicemail, cable for e-mail/internet, accessibility to public transportation should your employees not own personal transportation, and most importantly, space – being able to provide room(s) where others can easily concentrate on making a living. If you feel you’ve covered the bases, it may also be wise to ask potential candidates their feedback on improvements.
~ Bill
