Rogers for Business announced two new work-from-home solutions in support of Canadian businesses that need to enable employees working from home: Business Internet at Home, and Secure Remote Worker. These work-from-home solutions 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.

“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. “Rogers for Business now offers Canadian businesses the ability to offer solutions to complement an employee’s home internet that will enhance productivity, and security, and encourage digital collaboration for at home workers.”

A recent Rogers survey conducted by Angus Reid Group found that 73% of Canadian businesses with 150+ 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.

Enabling businesses with Rogers Business Internet at Home

With Rogers Business Internet at Home, employees get a dedicated business connection separate from their home network that also helps block access to websites that launch malware. Employees can connect to their business applications without competing for bandwidth in their households, optimizing the work from home experience.

Providing secure work from home solutions for a remote workforce

Rogers Secure Remote Worker also 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.

Both of these work-from-home solutions are supported by 24/7 technical service and support and have plug-and-play, contact-free installation.

Rogers work-from-home solutions are available for businesses to take advantage of today. For more information click here.

About the surveys
Rogers commissioned The Angus Reid Group to conduct two surveys:

• Business to Business Survey: the survey was conducted online from May 22-26, 2020 with a sample of 504 Canadian businesses. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would yield a margin of error of +/- 4.4 per cent 19 times out of 20.
• Consumer Survey: The survey was conducted online from June 27-29, 2020 with a sample of 1,1171 Canadian adults who are employed. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would yield a margin of error of +/- 2.9 per cent 19 times out of 20.
