You can install the desktop software at work which will give you access to the drive. You should be able to make backups to the drive then. This is assuming that you are permitted to install 3rd party software at work and that work doesn't have a firewall or filter that would prevent the connection. Also, not all backup software will recognize the pogoplug drive, but there are a number of apps out there that do. You can search the forums for backup software recommendations.
