Setting up an effective teleworking schedule allows greater flexibility and improves work-life balance for employees. A well-structured schedule enables companies to maintain productivity while reducing operational costs and office space requirements. By optimising the organisation of remote working, companies can increase employee satisfaction, attract new talent and reduce their carbon footprint, while ensuring business continuity.

The advantages of remote working
Are you looking for an easy-to-use schedule that can be shared with your employees in real time? Learn how to quickly create your schedule so you can optimise collaborative work and gain in everyday efficiency.
Wherever you are, 24 hours a day, a simple Internet connection gives you access to your on-line planning system from remote devices: PC, Mac, Smartphone, etc.
The teleworker can then remotely follow the schedule in its entirety, with a detailed view of appointments, tasks, operations, and other activities carried out by employees.
How can a schedule be followed remotely?
Some companies have already opted for remote working as an intermittent arrangement or have implemented it on a recurring basis, allowing employees to work from home. Thanks to the widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT) within the company, remote workers have the tools necessary to perform their tasks in appropriate conditions while maintaining contact with employees that are physically present on the premises. The conditions covering switching to teleworking and the terms of implementation for the contract must be defined by the employer and their employee in advance.
This agreement between the employer and the employee also depends on the type of position occupied by the employee, as in some cases working in remote is evidently more difficult to implement, or it may even be impossible. For some positions, however, work from home is a very good solution.
Faced with unforeseen circumstances such as transport strikes or the risk of an epidemic, remote working is a good example to follow in order to mitigate any problems that may be encountered or suffered by employers and employees. Setting up remote work conditions therefore allows you to remain responsive and maintain control of the situation, while, above all, limiting detrimental effects to the activity of your company.
With some adjustments, and by reorganising their usual work routine, the telecommuter can continue to perform the tasks assigned to them and the employer can ensure the proper running of the company.
As an employer, many questions remain: how to properly manage your team by teleworking? How to maintain the link with its employees? What are the tools to achieve this?
As an employee there too questions can arise: how to recreate a rhythm similar to that of the usual workplace? How to set up a new routine and organize your daily work?
The use of collaborative tools that are accessible by all users online is crucial for people to be able to share information in real time. For example, when it comes to business planning management, being able to organise and monitor a remote work schedule becomes a major benefit.
