Equipment, internet and remote-work readiness

Remote work depends on practical working conditions as well as professional skill.

Employers should define any minimum requirements that are genuinely necessary for the role, such as a laptop specification, headset, quiet working environment, internet stability or backup connectivity.

Professionals should describe their setup accurately and raise limitations before accepting work. Where equipment testing is important, employers can use an interview or agreed technical check rather than relying only on self-declared information.

Avoid collecting device or network information that is not relevant to the role.
