The role of IT in pandemic planning is largely delivering remote access to your systems & maintaining communications with staff and customers. In day to day business, implementing a teleworking solution and increasing the accessibility to your network can deliver many more business benefits.
The Business Benefits of Teleworking Solutions
The Sensis® Business Index 2007 talks about an “overwhelmingly positive impact of teleworking on Australian businesses. Over four out of five businesses reported that teleworking was, on balance, positive for their business, with less than one per cent of businesses reporting a negative impact overall."
Business owners cited increased flexibility for their employees, the ability to access information from anywhere, time savings and improved productivity as the main positive impacts of teleworking.

| “While businesses directly reported many benefits from teleworking, this report also found independent correlation between teleworking and business performance. Businesses that had teleworking employees reported higher levels of business confidence and stronger levels of business performance across many key economic indicators.”
“Overall, businesses had few complaints about teleworking... indeed, one of they key things that some businesses mentioned that they would do differently was to have adopted it sooner.”
