TORONTO – Rogers for Business today announced two new work from home services that will help Canadian companies who have to keep their workforce at home – and working.
Business Internet at Home, and Secure Remote Worker offer business owners the ability to provide separate and secure business-grade internet connectivity for their employees, so they can collaborate as easily and securely as they do at the office, says the Rogers press release.
“Canadian businesses have told us they want to enable productivity at home, while feeling confident about data security on employee home networks,” said Dean Prevost, president, Rogers for Business, in the announcement.
A recent Rogers survey conducted by Angus Reid Group, found that 73% of Canadian businesses with 150 or more employees will be working more from home. At the same time, 45% of working Canadians are not comfortable returning to their workplace or office at this time. In addition, more than half of Canadians have experienced cybercrime, according to the Cybersecure Policy Exchange at Ryerson University.
Rogers Business Internet at Home users get a dedicated business connection separate from their home network that helps block access to malware-infected websites that launch malware. Employees can connect to their business applications without competing for bandwidth in their households, optimizing the work from home experience.
Rogers Secure Remote Worker helps protect a company’s data and devices while giving employees the flexibility to work safely from home, or even at the cottage. “This solution securely connects employees’ devices to the company network through a cloud-based VPN, turning any residential Wi-Fi network into an extension of the company LAN. Businesses can also apply company security policies to restrict access to their network,” reads the release.
Both of these work from home solutions are supported by 24/7 technical service and support, and have plug-and-play, contact free installation.
