SuiteCommute is a consulting firm designed to assist organizations in planning, implementing, and successfully managing formal Telework/Telecommuting programs. We strive to help company’s with distributed workforces increase collaboration, communication, and performance.
Business Continuity Planning- Ever wondered what would happen if your office was inaccessible? How would your company maintain operations? Many companies and government organizations are now looking to Telecommuting and Remote Work as the backbone of their Business Continuity or Continuity of Operations Plan.
Remote Workforces - Today’s work model is shifting from one that used to be focused on location to one that is more focused on people and results. As technology continues to evolve, teams, managers, and employees interact less and less face to face. This new type of work requires new work habits, techniques, communication methods, and performance metrics.
Green Intiatives- As the concern for environmentally friendlier work habits and organizations grows, Telecommuting is positioned as the leading option. In addition to helping reduce an organization’s carbon footprint, energy use, and emissions, telecommuting also provides added benefits from increased productivity, attraction and retention of top-talent, and major overhead savings.
Policies and Procedures- Remote Work programs take more than state of the art technology. Simply giving someone a laptop and cell phone does not guarantee they will be an effective remote worker. There are various workman’s comp issues, protection of proprietary information, setting of performance metrics, selection criteria, and even specific termination procedures that must be addressed before any employee begins a Remote Work arrangement.
Training- Managing someone remotely requires a different skill set. Traditional communication and management models are based off location interactions. Remote workers require different communication methods, management styles, team building, and monitoring. Employees need to be trained in the company’s methods for securing, transporting, and destroying data, what distractions to watch out for, and how to track their time and work.
Assessment Tool – We have developed a very comprehensive Assessment Tool that has the ability to evaluate and grade your current Remote Work or Telecommuting Program. Our summary report will show you the major areas associated with a solid program and your corresponding score. Our detailed report outlines what has been comprehensively covered and what policies or procedures are missing.
