Webinar Description:
The rise of hybrid and remote work arrangements has redefined how organizations operate—and how compliance must be maintained. To guide employers in adopting flexible work practices that align with labor standards, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has issued Department Order No. 237-22, the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 11165, also known as the Telecommuting Act.
This high-impact and results-driven session is designed to help HR and compliance professionals understand and implement the new DOLE guidelines effectively. Participants will gain practical insights on crafting compliant telecommuting programs, fulfilling DOLE reporting and notification requirements, and ensuring that employee rights and benefits are protected while maintaining productivity and operational efficiency.
