Hurricanes, firestorms and other disasters have made many companies painfully aware of the consequences of not having a business continuity strategy in place. Disruptions to both company infrastructure (ex: a flooded building) and employee productivity (ex: a snowstorm) cause a ripple effect that can cost millions of dollars.

Many continuity plans focus mainly on the impact of major disasters on company infrastructure when they should pay more attention to maintaining productivity when employees can't get to the office. A 2005 report by the Telework Advisory Group of WorldatWork, states that less than half of all companies include telework in existing business continuity plans.

With the right positions and the right people, combined with an effective infrastructure, telework can be a competitive advantage. And it's critical to a sound business continuity plan because of its implications for workforce management.

Attend this 45-minute Webinar to learn how to deploy telework successfully. Main topics include:

  • Organizational Benefits of Telework

  • Components of a Telework Program

  • Making Telework a Success
