Sustain Work-From-Home
Ensure work-from-home (WFH) arrangements are planned, integrated, and supported across the organization.
Not all roles are able to work from home; the ability to WFH varies throughout organizations. Organizations need a clearly defined, unbiased approach to determine who can WFH on an ongoing basis and who needs to work onsite. In addition, some employees want to work onsite regardless of whether their role can WFH. For WFH programs to be successful, they must be supported (e.g. with tools, training, logistics) and integrated into organizational and HR programs.

Our Advice
Critical Insight
WFH programs won't sustain themselves: they require the right long-term options for your organization and ongoing efforts through supporting programs and change management.
Impact and Result
Sustain WFH opportunities for employees by creating a planned, integrated, and supported program that maximizes the benefits of flexibility while supporting both organizational and employee needs. Using an in-depth analysis of work duties, processes, and operational outcomes, along with the development of clearly defined program parameters, transition into a successful and unbiased long-term WFH program.
