| As coronavirus cases have surged, so have the number of companies asking their employees to work from home, with 46% of American businesses having implemented remote-work policies as of mid-February. While
telecommuting has become more mainstream in recent years—the remote
workforce grew 159% between 2005 and 2017—when just 3.4% of Americans work from home at least half of the time, it’s not unreasonable to think that many of
the employees who have been asked to work from home due to the
coronavirus may have little to no experience doing so, or at least not

We’ll be adding to this guide as the situation develops, so check back for updates. |
