Nearly one in five U.S. companies suffered a disaster in 2004 that caused their companies to cease operations for some period of time, according to a Partnership for Public Warning study sponsored by AT&T.
One strategy that can help keep companies productive in the event of a disaster (whether natural or man-made) is telework--also known as telecommuting, virtual work, or mobile work.
The Telework Advisory Group for WorldatWork is offering a 100+ page report, "Exploring Telework as a Business Continuity Strategy: A Guide to Getting Started" to aid companies. It includes practical steps, technology solutions, and case studies.
The executive summary of the report is available for free, but for a limited time one copy of the full report is also being offered for free to HR executives, CIOs, and CEOs.
