Clarify expectations
Be sure to lay out clear expectations around job performance and responsiveness.
Be specific
Employees should fully understand what is expected of them when they telework. Outline communication and system tools and expectations (such as open calendars with banner notices including telephone numbers) to deliver on work and projects in the same way that you require when the employee is onsite.
Agree on expectations
Ask the employee to reflect what they understand as telework expectations to ensure your agreement and alignment.
