Ensure your business continuaty during the pandemic

K-Force enables telework for your company

The fight against the new waves of the Covid-19 pandemic has put homeworking back at the top of the agenda. Where possible, homeworking is obligatory and has once again become the norm, just like during the lockdown in the first wave. Homeworking had slowed down a little but has been more present than ever before. According to surveys conducted by the Belgian Economic Risk Management Group (ERMG), about 35% of employees have been homeworking since the Covid-19 crisis began in Belgium.

Commuting between home and work is no longer necessary. This does not only save time and money, it also reduces the employees’ stress level, shortens traffic jams and benefits the environment!

Homeworking can make jobs more accessible for people. As a result of the larger recruitment pool, you can more easily find the right candidates with the desired/required profile.

In short, giving an employee the possibility to partially work from home, definately has its advantages. And in case we all need to go in full lockdown again, then you are prepared to continue running your business in the most optimal way.

Suddenly, your employees no longer work within the – hopefully – secured network in the office. In addition, the VPN connection has to take care of much more traffic. How can you protect your home working employees and company data against targeted attacks in this way? And what are the agreements with your employees regarding teleworking?

With our partner Watchguard, known for solid firewall solutions, we offer an e-book full of practical tips and a complete checklist that can help you better prepare for or organize work from home.

Naturally, K-Force is there for you if you have any questions about this. Our IT consultatnts are available for an online video meeting.

With the increasing number of employees working remotely everywhere around the world, businesses are now looking at supporting a mostly, if not full, remote workforce. But just because security at the office is no longer a high priority, that doesn’t mean that remote security should be overlooked.

View this on-demand webinar with Ben Oster, senior product manager, and Stephen Helm, product marketing manager, both at Watchguard, where they discuss how to overcome the challenges of remote security, including:

• Best practices to keep in mind when securing users remotely and on the go
