As part of a larger report on workplace trends developed by Citrix Online titled "Worldwide Workplace: The Web Commuting Imperative", today we're launching a whitepaper on simple steps that businesses can take to get started in workshifting some or all of their employees.

To get up and running with workshifting, here are five simple steps that businesses can take:

1. Determine the specific needs of your organization
2. Go online to identify best practices for managing a virtual workplace.
3. Evaluate core technologies best suited to enabling employees to remain productive.
4. Set policies and guidelines for managing your virtual workplace.
5. Set benchmarks and measure effectiveness.

For suggestions and details on how to execute each of these steps, download the whitepaper now: Five Steps to a Virtual Workplace Program

After reading through the whitepaper, are there other steps that you would take to convince your business to start a workshifting program?
