Policy: Virtual Officing and Remote Work
Future Worlds Center is a modern, innovative organization that fully capitalizes and exploits new technologies. As such, it encourages its people to work anytime, from anywhere, on any project.
At the same time, Associates who would like to benefit from this policy must also realize and appreciate the following:
- A new member of Future Worlds Center cannot engage in Virtual Officing before s/he has adequately connected with the members of her/his team.
- Those who spend less time in the office tend to participate less in organizational events and invest less time for the common good
Laptop subsidy
Future Worlds Center is committed to provide financial support for an appropriate laptop for each and every full-time associate. This policy generally addresses the need by associates to have a laptop, which fulfills the requirement of project related work such as speed, availability of space and to incite every associate to catch up to advance technology and innovation; accordingly, the scope of this policy covers the fund request of IPad as well.
A laptop is intended for primary use for organizational related business as a productivity tool, curriculum tool, and for research and communication. It is also intended as a replacement for any computers that may be owned personally. Use of the laptop for personal purposes during working hours however should be within the standards of good judgment and common sense, in compliance with the terms and conditions of applicable software license agreements.
To apply for this subsidy refer to the relevant Laptop subsidy procedure.
