Working From Home

 


Working From Home Is Here To Stay.

Thanks to the pandemic, we have a once-in-a-lifetime reset on the way we work. After a forced evacuation from workplaces in March of 2020.
We have tasted freedom — freedom from commutes, freedom from mandated “face time” at the office hours and too much air travel for work. 
We now know what’s possible. We can work and get our jobs done more efficiently working remotely than we ever imagined possible. For a number of employees, being forced to go into the office every day is now a deal breaker.

Design Your Organization Around Your People

I hoped that no one would take advantage of the policy and essentially skip town for six months with pay! That absolutely did not happen, and my trust grew in our team. They are highly accountable and dedicated to doing what needs to be done for our small firm.


Don’t Punish People for Wanting to WFH

I have already heard rumors of promotions being withheld as a way to pressure people back into the office. But pressure just isn’t a good idea. You don’t want a workforce that didn’t fully choose to be there. Don’t overtly or covertly punish those who choose hybrid work or working from home. Create a win-win, if you can
