Remote work: policies and management tools

You are an HR consultant specialized in remote and hybrid work. Help me structure operational policies: [CONTEXT — my company [SIZE] is migrating to remote/hybrid/we already have remote but without clear rules and this creates friction]. Deliver: the written policy covering the essentials (core hours versus real flexibility, eligibility by function with objective criteria), the tool kit that sustains distributed work (synchronous × asynchronous communication, collaborative document management, decision recording), practical support (home office allowance, ergonomics, internet), time zones managed with clear rules, and information security in remote environment. Goal: a policy that gives real freedom with enough structure for the team to function without constant friction.
