I’m looking for a policy on laptops/IT. Are there any examples of companies who are fully working from home. Do they provide laptops for staff or do people work on their own laptops? If thier laptops or equipments get faulty due to working remotely, what will the company policy be on that on reimbursement, etc?

My group/organisation is fully working remotely and we’re a small team of 7. Due to personal IT equipments we realize in the company, some of the staff are using laptops which are old and no longer supported by Apple .This means they are more susceptible to security breaches. So as a company and a general remote working policy, i’m looking for examples of mentioning staff working on their own IT equipment from home

Our org is similar – fully remote and team of 7. Our policy is that the org will buy new laptops for staff if they want (I’m still using my personal computer). Org then owns those assets and if the staff leave, then staff have option of buying the computer back from org at depreciated value.
In your case where staff are using laptops no longer supported by Apple, would def recommend that the org buy new laptops.
For ideal security practice, it’s definitely best if people use separate work and personal laptops but that’s def not happening at my org.

This is so helpful to know @karenl Do you have this in place in your staff handbook or policies for your staff?

The only thing we have officially written down in handbook is that staff can buy back the laptops from the organization at a depreciated price.
