The distributable workforce
DownloadThis ICF white paper examines a distributable workforce and telework solutions that maximize its benefits—specifically telework promotion and telework implementation.
Establishing a distributable workforce is a way to strategically use telework to create broad benefit to regions, organizations, individual employees, and the environment by:
- Enhancing continuity of operations (COOP) in the face of an emergency
- Reducing traffic congestion and commute times
- Improving organizational performance and lowering carbon footprint and costs
- Enriching employees' work/life balance
