T 2.51 Poor integration of teleworkers into the information flow

As telecommuters work primarily at home and are thus not present at the institution on a daily basis, they have less opportunity to participate in a direct exchange of information with superiors and colleagues. As a result, they may remain partially unaware of certain internal affairs, which would lead to a reduced affiliation with the institution.

Furthermore in case of an inadequate information flow, there is the possibility that some information required from security aspects will be not be properly received or will arrive too late from the teleworker . One possible scenario here involves a delay in the forwarding of messages concerning computer viruses.
