Remote Working Policy Writers
One of our most popular documents in light of the recent pandemic and new ways of working is the Remote Working Policy. Previously, many organisations implemented a restrictive, unclear “home working” policy.
In the majority of cases, home working was very much dependent on the role type. Remote working was quite ad-hoc, older documentation is generally vague and therefore open to interpretation.
What Does Remote Working Cover?
Modern Remote Working policies can cover a myriad of scenarios and are tailored to each business. However, common areas that we work to define with clients are:
- Definition of working spaces.
- The permanence of home or remote working.
- Management of organisational and customer data protection obligations when remote working.
- Acceptable expenses when remote working.
- Obligations of the organisation to provide hardware and other assets to enable an easy transition to remote working.
- Security of Home and Remote environments and controls around these.
- The communication and accessibility obligations of staff who are remote working.
- Lines of reporting.
- Business continuity when remote working – risks and mitigations.
- Hours of work.
Other Considerations
There are many other areas to consider when defining a clear remote working policy. We have been working closely with many of our clients to build a broad knowledge of the many facets of defining a remote working policy.
