Teleworking

What employers can do to implement a teleworking (telecommuting) program:

• Determine if teleworking is already happening on an informal basis
• Find an executive champion to help secure upper management commitment for a pilot program
• Form a steering committee to develop formal program policies and parameters
• Determine technology and voice needs
• Train managers and teleworkers
• Assess the program
• Integrate telework into your organization’s Emergency Management/Business Continuity plan
