Remote working: changing the landscape of modern workplace for employees and businesses. It feels like work from home, which started as a solution to global interruptions is now here to stay. With advancements in technology, an increase in remote working has become apparent in ensuring that balance, productivity and professional growth are faced with this new challenge.
Almost-five months of work from home: An embrace of productivity
For those working remotely, it needs to be intentional about ways to remain productive. Having a dedicated workspace at home is an important step in establishing boundaries between work and personal space. We've leaned on project management software, video conferencing platforms, time-tracking apps and other tools to help make our workflow more efficient and our collaboration more productive. Having clear daily goals, a schedule to stick to, and taking breaks regularly can help you not burn out but remain focused. By prioritizing tasks and making use of automation tools, this increases the efficiency and allows the remote worker to achieve more within limited time.
Achieving Work-Life Balance
In the absence of palpable boundaries, this often leads to a tough work-life balance in a remote workspace. Developing a system that distinguishes work time from personal time is essential. Adding breaks to the schedule, creating opportunities to be active, and spending time with family and friends prevents the feeling of being “always on.” Business leaders are bringing this lesson home by emphasizing flexible hours, allowing workers to fit work hours to moments when they are at peak productivity. Incorporating mental health check-ins into your remote working routine by practicing mindfulness is sure to enhance the overall well-being of remote employees, keeping them motivated and engaged.
Advancing Your Career in a Remote Environment
While remote work allows to seek jobs anywhere around the globe, it requires you to work proactively for career growth. Use online professional networking sites (like LinkedIn) to expand your online reach as a remote worker and showcase your skills. Attending virtual conferences, webinars, and online courses on a regular basis will help keep skills fresh and relevant. They also allow you to have good communication with managers and peers to reinforce visibility and help ensure that your career continues to grow, even at a distance.
