Teleworking & Remote Work
Many people are looking at the concept of teleworking for the first time, between recommendations to disperse large gatherings of people, as well as event and school closures. If you have not teleworked before, or haven’t managed someone who is teleworking, Smart Commute is here to help with a few resources and best practices.
Teleworking is the completion of work in a remote setting, most often home. Technology allows a teleworker access to all files, software, and email that is at their work desk in an office – most often through a “Remote Desktop” to a personal computer at home. Many companies already have remote desktop software access for workers, and can simply “turn access on” with manager approval. However, even if an organization does not have any current remote access resources at their disposal, wonderful and free resources exist, including Google’s Remote Desktop service.
