Product Description

There are more people working from home than ever before and it may be a trend that is only going to continue to grow. But it's not that easy. You need a lot more than a desk, laptop, and an internet connection.

Many people think that the burden of making a work from home arrangement successful falls on the employee. However, the employer also has a lot of responsibility for ensuring that employees are cared for physically and mentally and it's time employers were supported with a framework to create a workplace that supports working from home arrangements.

Homeforce provides guidance to business owners and managers who want to make this transition successfully for the long term. In order to truly be successful, employers need to go beyond the tools and tech and consider the foundations of the employment relationship. What expectations do they have of the employees? How are they going to manage the relationship at a distance? What impact will work from home arrangements have on the entire workplace culture? Only by providing appropriate systems and support for all involved will an employer truly see the benefits of working from home arrangements.

Employers reading this book will be left with a clear framework to follow to ensure that any working from home arrangements are set up as best as possible for both employees and the business. Everything from considering which roles and which employees are suited to work from home, to the training and resources needed to ensure success.
