How to start working remotely? You could either transition to remote work slowly or directly jump into it if you feel ready. You could even ask your boss to let you work remotely and ask for trial periods. This would mean you will still be working for the same company, just in a much better environment. Prepare before your start - Remote work isn’t for everyone. If you lack communication skills and struggle with the language you may face difficulties to work in a remote environment. You need to make sure you are prepared for remote work before you jump into it. Remote work trial periods - I understand how nervous it can make you when you are the first employee in your company who wants to work remotely. Asking your manager to let you work remotely isn’t easy, but asking him to give you remote work trial periods would definitely be easier. Try working remotely twice a week, or two weeks in a month and let your boss decide if it’s beneficial for the organization or not (which it obviously will be). Switch to cloud-based technology - Cloud-based technology is almost like a remote worker’s right hand. Without it, remote work will not be possible. You need to switch to the right communication and collaboration tools and learn how to use them well as they are the stepping stone to remote work. Establishing remote work standards - Imagine you are working with clients as a remote worker, and you have multiple projects and a definite time to complete them. What do you do in that situation? You prioritize what to take up first and so on. Setting standards and prioritising work will take you a long way when working remotely. Time management is important for a remote worker and can be achieved by making to-do lists and keeping a track of deadlines along with work progress.
