It’s common practice for companies to use offshore employees or contractors in order to offload work to specialized individuals or reduce costs associated with certain tasks and responsibilities. This can free up staff to focus on more complex and valuable initiatives, and also ensure 24×7 operations for companies which rely upon on-call staff and subject-matter experts to address emergency situations.

The purpose of this Offshore Work Policy from TechRepublic Premium is to set guidelines for establishing offshore work teams including orientation, access and role determinations, and business considerations.

From the policy:
