Check out this great article about remote work: Making the Case for Remote Working
Important Notes from these articles:
- “Frame the conversation with the benefit in mind. You want to provide quality work and need quiet space to do your best work.”
- “Offer to work remotely on a trial basis, one or two days a week. The trial period is to prove you can be more productive than your peers by working from home. Set evaluation dates and define what success should look like.”
- “Discuss the collaboration tools you will use to stay in touch with your manager, the team and others.”
- “Expect to prove that you can be trusted to do the work. Communicate what you have accomplished. It could be helpful to have similar projects that were completed in the office as examples to compare to.”
- “Establish the hours you will be working if different than normal office hours.”
- “Explain your remote office situation. Is it at home or at a co-shared space? Discuss how you will handle company materials and assets in a responsible and secure way. Share a picture of what your workspace would look like.”
