Telecommuting (also called remote work) can be very effective in terms of efficiency, employee engagement, and resource utilization. It is similar, yet also quite different, from working in a traditional office setting, so it is critical to prepare carefully for mutual success of the employee and department. We have collected a number of helpful resources here to help support the employee journey to a positive remote work experience. In addition, Human Resources is available to provide support to those working remotely.
