  • Working from home must be seamless and without disruptions. All team members, internal and external customers, should continue to receive excellent customer service without compromise. If any issues impact on our ability to deliver that level of service, remote work will no longer be an option, and the employee will be required to work full-time from the office. This includes technical or connectivity issues, among others.
  
  
  • To help maintain uninterrupted service, it is highly recommended that employees schedule vacation time, appointments, etc., and the manager should approve this time away from the desk so asto ensure consistent coverage.
