Here we are, whether by choice or by force, all companies that are able to do so must adopt telecommuting. For companies just starting to implement telecommuting, this accelerates the process; for others, it represents a major change in their organization.
In the process, many questions arise, such as which tools to use, how to keep in touch with employees and how to coach them.
You’ll read many articles advising you on practical tools for teleworking.
But before telecommuting, there’s the whole organization upstream, which must be orchestrated by company directors, managers and, above all, HR.
Teams hold (remote) crisis meetings to find out how they are going to organize their activities over the next few days.
Upstream, there is the management of telework requests
VSA ERP supports you in implementing teleworking
- You decide which employees can request teleworking;
- Each employee who can telework can submit requests;
- A workflow system enables telework requests to be validated via the Web or a mobile application;
- The dashboard gives managers an overview of teleworking employees.
