Teamviewer is fairly safe as everything is done over SSL. However, it doesn't intergrate with AD so if an employee leaves and their account is disabled, they could potentially still gain access to the PC. Also, it can be used to suck data out of the remote PC so in that respect it's not secure.
If they need to access the resources from home, you need to deploy a corporate wide solution that is under your management. That solution may involve Teamviewer (or similar), but it will be under your management.
As for Teamviewer itself - if you want to stop it, block access to the IP address used on your firewall.

"TeamViewer includes full encryption, based on RSA private-/public key exchange and AES (256 Bit) session encoding. "
On that basis Teamviewer is quite safe, but that very much depends upon your passcode. I would recommend using a passphrase rather than a password to make things more difficult.
My only concern is that it is difficult to monitor usage with Teamviewer and you can also copy files back and forth, which increases the likelihood of virii and malware being passed into your network.
