Fighting the cold and flu in the workplace is something most companies have already experienced. Many businesses are trying to determine how to prepare their offices and employees to work from home or work remote from anywhere. Learn to create a plan, educate employees and provide the tools that the staff needs.

Work from home options: Determine if it’s possible for part or all your workforce to work from home.

Your company’s remote work policy: Now may be the time to put a policy in place if you don’t already have one.

Communication: Define how your teams will communicate, the frequency required and how reporting on the progress of work will be handled. This information could be included in your policy.

Employee information: Make sure you have an updated contact list for all employees.
