Creating or Revising Work from Home Policies
Diane Pape Reed, CU Doctor
For years, staff members have been asking for permission to work from home. Many
employers were hesitant to allow this practice because it seemed hard to manage
(e.g., productivity would decrease, it’s too difficult to maintain security and privacy, staff
will get by with lax standards, and control would be lost.) But along came COVID-19. Many businesses were forced to close to all but essential personnel in order to protect
their own and the public’s health and safety.
What now? Will things go back to normal with everyone returning to the office? Probably
not. Many people like (or need) to work from home. In addition, many consumers have
changed the way they do business with financial institutions, perhaps forever. They’re
using all those online or phone services you’ve been touting, and they like it. Plus,
productivity is up, and savings on HR and facilities costs are being realized. Yet, valid
concerns still exist. This webinar will take you on an HR guru-guided journey through the
standards and best practices of managing work-from-home. Learn how to set standards
and maintain strict confidentiality and get great ideas for improving staff morale and
enhancing your brand.
