I have been saying for years that remote working should be recognised as the specific form of work it is, just as shift work is recognised. It is its own form of work. It should have its own sets of procedures to ensure that one can stay connected. I noted that Ms Mangan referred in the statement to workers as they start being engaged and connected from day one. Perhaps people who are more used to the traditional model might struggle to understand how that will happen and how one manages that. Will Mr. Hegarty outline how that works in his company?
