Determining whether your organization needs around-the-clock IT support becomes more difficult as teams expand across locations and time zones. Standard support hours may work well initially, but distributed work, international growth, and increasingly connected workforce operations can reveal gaps in how issues are identified, escalated, and resolved.
This self-assessment helps IT and operations leaders determine whether their existing support structure still matches the way their workforce operates. In just a few minutes, you can identify where current coverage works effectively, and where additional support capacity or stronger processes may be required.
How This Assessment Helps
Complete this self-assessment to:
- Identify where employees may face delays outside normal support hours: particularly across distributed teams and different time zones
- Understand how unresolved IT issues can disrupt workforce operations: including onboarding, access, collaboration, and day-to-day productivity
- Assess whether existing support processes can scale effectively: without creating excessive dependency on individual team members or manual escalation
- Evaluate visibility and ownership across IT support: including whether issues are consistently recorded, assigned, followed through, and reviewed
What’s Inside the Self-Assessment
This resource provides a short, structured checklist for reviewing how effectively your current IT support coverage serves a distributed workforce.
Inside, you’ll find:
- 8 assessment questions: covering important areas of IT support and workforce operations
- 5 clear response options for each question: representing common support scenarios
- Simple guidance for understanding your assessment results
- Practical considerations for determining when broader support coverage may be appropriate
The assessment takes approximately five minutes to complete and provides a useful starting point for deciding whether your current IT support structure remains aligned with how your organization operates.
Who This Resource Is For
This self-assessment is designed for organizations coordinating IT support across distributed or international workforces.
It’s especially useful for:
- IT managers and IT operations leaders evaluating support requirements across locations and time zones
- HR and People Ops teams coordinating employee onboarding, access requirements, and workforce lifecycle changes
- Operations leaders responsible for maintaining consistent processes across distributed teams
- Companies expanding internationally without dedicated IT resources in every market
- Organizations assessing whether existing IT support processes can scale alongside workforce growth
Whether your organization supports 50 employees or several thousand, this checklist helps evaluate whether current support availability reflects when and how your workforce operates.
