TAPP, the Telework Assessment and Profile Process, has been developed to provide a tool to quickly and inexpensively (time and money) profile the telework potential of your workforce and to calculate the impact that a strategic deployment would have on your bottom-line. TCR recognizes that most organizations incur the expense of supporting telework as a work-family program or they resist it from a more emotional perspective. Upper management rarely visits the question. As the economy begins to rebound, it is critical that employers explore telework as a manner of expanding the work force without incurring the long term fixed costs of brick and mortar that they have just squeezed out of their budgets. It is time to begin to understand the logic of telework, a logic that exists at many levels:
- Employers benefit from improved productivity and retention; they also reduce costs and enhance competitiveness,
- Regions benefit from a more effective employer base as well as cleaner air and less congestion,
- Individuals benefit from improved control over their time and a higher quality of life, and
- Communities benefit from the many intangibles that result from accelerating their transition into the Information Age.
TAPP is an on-line service that offers a variety of unique features and benefits. Its fundamental purpose is to quantify the scope and scale of your potential telework program so that management can define the role of telework within the organization and set appropriate goals for its implementation. TAPP is the first of the Telework Deployment Program's (TDP) six phases. The TDP is designed to support your telework plan development from the initial assessment (TAPP) through to implementation and monitoring. The process is as easy as 1-2-3. If you wish to proceed, please complete the pricing and agreement forms and TCR will send you the information for TAPP's employer setup and subsequent employee input process.
