Employee Suitability Assessment Process

The Employee Suitability Assessment is a developmental tool available for employees applying for a flexwork arrangement involving telecommuting. This assessment is designed to provide guidance and support around the telecommuting skills of communication, remote relationship management, self-management, results orientation, and technological savvy. It is an optional assessment tool, but is recommended for emp! loyees new to telecommuting.

Telecommuting is a work arrangement which involves performing normal work duties at a location away from the conventional office. This off-site location can be the employee’s home, a satellite office closer to home, or a "virtual office" while traveling. Telecommuting can occur in many different forms. Most telecommuting schedules involve working from an off-site location once or twice a week. Some employees telecommute nearly every day, while others just telecommute occasionally in order to meet an important deadline without office interruptions, or while traveling.
