Ensure HQ workers have flexibility
Create an explicit work-from-home policy for office employees that extends the benefits of remote work to office employees. Clearly outline the expectations of remote workers in documentation.
Ensure your guideline answers the following questions:
- Can office employees work from home any day of the week?
- How many consecutive days can office employees work from home?
- What is the maximum number of days an office employee can work from home?
- Do office employees working from home need to maintain certain working hours?
- Can office employees work remotely while travelling?
- Do office employees need to ask for permission to work from home?
