Business continuity is an ongoing driver for telework/virtual workers, but significant time and effort need to be spent to ensure operational considerations are factored into the transition. These range for IT readiness (equipment, support, security, data backup, remote access, etc) to operational (facilities, telework centers, virtual cubicles, etc) and organizational issues (employee assessments, collaboration, managerial readiness, etc.). The Commonwealth of Virginia has promoted a relatively new initiative supported by Gov Kaine, yet deployment has been slow due to a lack of judicious and thoughful examination of barriers to adoption.
