Home Workplace: A Handbook for Employees & Managers

Description

This book guides employees and managers through all the issues involved with working from home, either full time or on occasion. Home Workplace walks readers through the issues and choices involved in working at home: voice and data technology, home office locations, facilities, environment, furniture, HR oversight, and more. The book addresses what employers need to have in place to enable home working, including network access, temporary or hot-desks for when home workers come in, means of communicating and stay in touch with home workers, conferencing systems, and IT support. The book also examines how to select, train, and manage home workers, including monitoring performance.
