Teleworking
Modern telecommunications mean that employees can now meet and work with each other, without the need to travel to be together in the same space.
Requirements for teleworking
With improvements in IT, you may wish to consider the introduction of teleworking, whereby your employees work away from your organisation's workplace, either at home or at a satellite office.
Depending on the type of work the employees do, and how frequently they will telework, you may need to consider setting up e-mail connections and office facilities, such as a fax machine and a dedicated telephone line at your employees' home or satellite office.
Hot-desking
You may want to consider a system of 'hot-desking' for teleworkers needing to spend a day or two in the office each week. Hot-desking involves one desk shared between several people who use it at different times. This work surface could be an actual desk or just a terminal link.
