Remote Work Overview
Remote working is designed to allow employees to work from home just as they would in the office (i.e, answer calls, correspond to emails, work on projects, attend meetings via teleconference). With the growing recognition for remote work, we recommend that you partner with IT support staff to take stock of equipment and proactively test your capability for reliable remote access.
To ensure performance and productivity do not suffer, we advise the following:
- Ensure you have an internet connection
- Guarantee you have calls forwarded to your home or cell phone devices
- Log into your email and calendar
- Ensure you can access our applications and files remotely
- Have your token (hard/soft) readily available when remoting from home
