Webinar: Supporting Remote Workers
Date: September 24, 2014 – WEDNESDAY
“Can you login as me and email me those spreadsheets from my desktop?”
“With all this traffic I’d get more work done if I only came into the office for Friday staff meetings.”
“I’m moving to Vail so my husband can train for the Winter Olympics. I can just take my laptop with me, right?”
Most nonprofit organizations now have at least some staff that work outside of the office some or all of the time. Technology (and especially the Internet) have helped foster this phenomenon. But what can be done to make remote working arrangements as smooth as possible?
Assuming you already have an HR policy, you definitely need some technology tools to keep things running.
This webinar discusses our experience with the pitfalls and benefits of providing technology support and access to offsite employees, reviews the basics, and examines pros and cons of the many tools and solutions now available to nonprofit organizations.
Whether it’s telework, liberal leave, an employee in Michigan or an entire west coast annex, a small staff or large, supporting remote workers should be on your radar if it isn’t already on your plate. Join us through the slides below for an informative look at best practices.
