About The Telecommute Connecticut Best Practices Guide
Every business day, a portion of the Connecticut, U.S. and global labor force works "off-site" at home, a customer's or supplier's office, an airport lounge or train waiting area, a field office or telecenter, or at other distant locations.
As off-site work gains greater acceptance, companies increasingly are asking: Should we initiate a telecommuting program? Telecommuting is not a one-size-fits-all concept and arrangements take many forms. However, the use of certain general practices can help ensure the success of a telecommuting program.
Telecommute Connecticut created this guide for companies that are considering or involved in the developing a telecommuting program. It contains information and guidance that will help senior management, managers and supervisors develop and carry out telecommuting strategies, and program policies and practices. You are encouraged to use or modify any component of this guide to meet your company's particular needs.
The guide does not attempt to cover all communications technologies-an area where new methods are constantly emerging. Technologies that are mentioned are those being used in telecommuting programs for which standards have emerged. References to those technologies are neither endorsements nor recommendations.
No legal advice is being given in this guide. In seeking advice, you should consult with legal counsel familiar with your company's particular circumstances.
If you have a specific question or need additional information about developing a telecommuting program, contact Patrice Defilippo.
