Starting a telework program

Question
Where do I begin to launch a telework program for some of my employees. 
Answer
Start with research to see where teleworking is feasible. Then conduct a pilot program, perhaps in a single department.

Find out if your technology can provide remote access for home-based or virtual employees. Track your results including elements such as customer satisfaction, quality, employee satisfaction, productivity, and costs. Adjust and expand based on those results.

Cost savings, employee recruitment, business continuity in times of crisis, greater worker performance, improved corporate efficiency and profits are potential benefits of a corporate telework program.
