the ability to resolve and issue face-to-face in 2 minutes rather than struggling on Skype, or waiting for emails. If you're not coordinating your remote workers on an IRC-like system, you're likely doing it wrong. (That's my experience, if someone else has successfully used other systems I'd like to hear about it) Also, if most of the team is on site and the remote people are a small minority, things are going to suck, unless management is also off-site.
