What I want to do is to create remote access for our those employess who wants to access services from home to our routers thus although they are at home virtually they are in the office.

What you're looking for is called VPN.

VPN = Virtual Private Networking.

Here's the good news:
Every Windows computer from 2000 and up supports VPN access and it's a very simple process to create a connection on an end-users PC.

Here's the bad news:
VPN Servers are not cheap and (at times) can be a pain to configure.

The essential goal here is to purchase a VPN server and hook it to your router. Boom, done... just like that.

The hard part comes from the configuration of the VPN. But, once you actually get a VPN if you need help you can always come back here. :-)

I forgot to mention...

Once an outside user is connected to your VPN they are essentially on your network. Meaning, they can then remote into their work computers using internal addresses and can also map network storage drives.
