                                              for Telecommuting Future



The growth of high tech information technology,
the prevalence of high speed internet access,
and the increasing number of companies willing
to adopt work-locations flexibility all lend to the
unprecedented growth of telecommuting we
are now experiencing today.

According to Forrester Research, there are 34
million telecommuters in the U.S. In 2016,
telecommuting ranks will rise up to 63 million.
That means, 43% of the workforce will be
remote workers in 2016. Businesses will have
telecommuting programs to accommodate
employees who work outside the traditional
office setting.

Preparing Your Business
                      for Telecommuting Future




If you have not done so yet, you should get
your business ready for the inevitability of
telecommuting.
Preparing Your Business
                     for Telecommuting Future




Here are six things you can do to prepare your
business for telecommuting.
Preparing Your Business
                       for Telecommuting Future



   Is your company policy updated? Check out
    if there are any articles in your company
    policy that will conflict with telecommuting.

    Does it cover policies relating to legal
    compliance and ethics obligations while
    working as off site employee, or as long as
    employees remain contractually obligated to
    the company?
Preparing Your Business
                      for Telecommuting Future



   Does your company have the technology
    necessary to support telecommuting?

    We are talking here about tools and
    techniques to be used for focused business
    functions, such as project management and
    collaboration, timekeeping, funds and supply
    procurement, expense reporting, payroll and
    others.
Preparing Your Business
                          for Telecommuting Future



   Do you have a timekeeping software that will keep
    track of how much time your employee spends on a
    particular task? This is a very important tool, as it
    also logs their work hours for payroll purposes.

    Some software, like Time Doctor, offer extended
    features such as monitoring employee productivity.
    For example, it allows managers to check if their
    employees are actually working. The software also
    allows managers to assign a list of to-dos using
    Time Doctor.
Preparing Your Business
                         for Telecommuting Future


   Is your company using a project management
    software?

    Project management software provides lots of
    benefits especially in managing remote employees.
    Web based project management software like
    Basecamp are accessible from anywhere with
    internet, which means remote workers can easily
    organize, plan, delegate and track projects and
    deadlines with you by just being online.
Preparing Your Business
                         for Telecommuting Future



   Is constant communication already priority in your
    company? Aside from emails and instant
    messaging, there are lots of software you can use.
    Have you tried web video conferencing via Skype?

    Teamviewer is another tool that you can use for
    remote controlling workstations, desktop sharing,
    online meetings, web conferencing and transferring
    files from computer to computer.
Preparing Your Business
                         for Telecommuting Future



   Do you have a company message board that will
    act as virtual offices where managers and
    employees can interact, post work related and non
    work related stuff, share calendars, resources,
    training materials, or just to bridge the
    communication gap between remote workers?
    There are many online software you can use for
    this.
