Key Steps to a Secure Remote Workforce

Abstract
The workplace has undergone fundamental changes over the past decade. No longer is the corporation housed within physical walls; it now transcends those buildings, even extending beyond distant geographic borders. The corporate network too, expands far beyond the corporate perimeter to provide access to partners, clients, suppliers, and traveling workers. But the institution that has brought about the greatest change and controversy in the workplace is that of telecommuting.

Telecommuting has become a way of life. Its growing acceptance is driven by many factors including initiatives to reduce pollution and congestion, the soaring cost of office space, and the challenges of communicating across international time zones. State and federal government offices have become the most enthusiastic proponents of teleworking, and most federal agencies are now required to have teleworking programs available to qualified employees. Private corporations, while not under legislative mandate to do so, often find that they too must develop remote worker programs in order to retain quality employees.

Even as a morale-booster, telecommuting has a great deal to offer by allowing workers a more flexible lifestyle. It's a definite attraction for companies based in high-priced urban areas where the cost of living is scaring the workforce away to a longer, more stressful commute. And the high cost of gas doesn't help matters. 

Offices Can Become Unusable
Then there's the unexpected. What steps should be taken to prepare against natural, economic or health emergencies such as earthquake, hurricanes, flooding, extreme weather or pandemics like avian flu? A virtual workforce of telecommuters might be the only way of staying in business in the event that the company's facilities are uninhabitable, roads have become impassable, or conditions make a journey to work too dangerous to contemplate.
