If you work from home, we recommend ensuring that you can meet the following technology, equipment and workspace requirements:

High-Speed Internet - A stable broadband or fiber connection (satellite is highly discouraged) with a minimum speed of 100 Mbps in a dedicated workspace that has a reliable Wi-Fi signal.

Device for Multifactor Authentication (MFA/2FA) - smartphone, tablet, etc.
