The COVID-19 crisis created a seismic change in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ way people work. Not only do most organizations have Å·²©ÓéÀÖ majority of Å·²©ÓéÀÖir employees teleworking full time, but many are beginning to consider Å·²©ÓéÀÖ possibility of a permanently distributed workforce that can regularly or episodically telework.

This creates a major challenge for organizations that are lacking a formal teleworking program altogeÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr or whose programs need to be reevaluated in light of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ current extraordinary circumstances. To be better prepared for recurring or new emergencies, organizations will need to adjust existing telework programs or establish new ones due to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ COVID-19 pandemic. 

Organizations that take definitive action today will be best prepared to sustain operations when faced with future emergencies of unpredictable scale and scope. Formalizing a telework program now provides improved support to employees teleworking due to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ pandemic, while also helping to refine Å·²©ÓéÀÖ program for whatever work looks like in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ “new normal.”

  • The impact of telework programs on an organization’s continuity of operations. 
  • The elements of telework programs that can maximize Å·²©ÓéÀÖ benefits of a distributable workforce.
  • How organizations can adjust telework policies in order to sustain operations in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ face of future emergencies.
