Template content - Teleworking

Your Team wrote in the policy that „teleworking doesn't include the use of mobile phones outside the company“.
Why did you exclude that? Cause you talked before (in the policy) about mobile devices plus their rules and you put mobile phones in that, let my call it „first“ category?

Answer:

First it is important to note that by not including mobile phones as part of Teleworking section does not mean it is forbidden to use them for this purpose, only that specific rules for teleworking do not apply to them. The reason for this is that teleworking mostly refers to secure physical locations and equipment that are not moved very often (e.g., network equipment), even if they are mobile devices (e.g., notebooks), because the place is the location where the employee works most of his time, and this is not the nature of mobile phones use. Additionally, we understand that rules defined on Mobile Computing section are sufficient to bring potential risks to acceptable levels.
