Telework Policy

Author(s): Sean Burkett

The telework policy will help to create standards for teleworking employees. Teleworking is a work alternative that can increase employee productivity, reduce absenteeism, and reduce costs, while offering a more flexible work option for select employees. However, if not properly managed, teleworking can cause a number of problems. The teleworking policy is key to creating the required standards to allow for employee teleworking.

Risks Addressed by Policy:

  • Network security breach.
  • Facing liability issues due to unsafe secondary work site locations.
  • Reduced productivity due to unproductive teleworkers.
