Telecommuting/Telework-Associations use it to promote productivity and efficiency. Local and federal governments endorse it as a means of reducing commuting times and pollution. Workers love it for its flexibility. But what is telecommuting and is it the right policy for your association? Will it produce positive results in productivity and employee retention for your association?

Our panelists will provide words of wisdom and discuss these issues:

• Technologies to ensure the security of your systems
• Policies and procedures to ensure good, strong, consistent communication (both formal and informal) between the telecommuter and the "home office”
• Ways you can ensure employees who telecommute at your association have a strong positive feeling about their experience and remain optimal contributors to the work of the association
• Legal implications of offering telecommuting
• Steps to prevent abuse
