Reminder
In the first part of the article, we looked at the different qualities that an employee must have if he wants to telework in good conditions.
Now, we are going to look at the factors related to his work environment when he works from home.
1) Do you have a suitable environment for teleworking?
First of all, it is imperative to be able to telework well to have an adapted environment.
Of course, it is possible to work from a coworking space or from a café, but the vast majority of remote workers work from home. You should therefore ideally benefit from a home large enough to have a dedicated room, or at least a place to work in a quiet place.
In addition, it is important to be able to isolate yourself from other inhabitants of the home so as not to be disturbed during your working time.
Regarding the equipment necessary to telework, your employer must provide you with the same equipment that you have when you work from the office, i.e. computer, printer, screen, internet connection and to the company server...

2) Have you recently joined your company?
Second, you have to master the subtleties and code of your business. Thus, teleworking is not always easy for the latest arrivals.
Generally, companies do not allow new hires to work from home. Indeed, it is difficult to get to know your collaborators through a screen.
In addition, the feeling of belonging to the company is less than when you work and meet your employees in the office.
However, if your company does not prohibit the practice of teleworking, but you have just been hired, it is more than recommended to promote face-to-face work as much as possible in order to be able to communicate as best as possible with the other members of your company.
3) Are you disciplined and thorough when working alone?
Third, it is essential to be disciplined in the way you work. Indeed, when we work from home, multiple temptations can distract us, whether it is the desire to put away personal papers, to get ahead with household chores or even to rest.
On the one hand, this lack of discipline will result in hours of poor quality work, but also a feeling of guilt associated with not having been able to work well.
When you are at home, you are more free in your work, because no one can directly verify your progress, but it is important to be responsible.
It is up to everyone to know each other, and to know under what circumstances one is more able to telework and in which others it is best to go to the office, in order to successfully accomplish his missions and to achieve his results.
In a few words
Working from home is good for you if you are organized, disciplined, and thorough.
In addition to these productivity criteria, relationship management is added. This last factor depends on each person, on their temperament. Indeed, some feel more than others the need to see their colleagues often and are very quickly tired of the possible feeling of loneliness that remote work can create.
To work remotely, you must therefore have the skills in relation to the way you work, but also the will. Under no circumstances can your employer force you to telework, unless this has been written into your employment contract, and except in exceptional circumstances (as we have seen with covid).
If you telework occasionally, some tools can help you be better organized and manage your week, especially to meet up with colleagues when needed. This is the case of M-Work, a software application for managing remote work that allows, among other things, to declare your teleworking days and to know those of your colleagues.
Thanks to M-Work, many colleagues appreciate being in the office on the same days and managing their week as best as possible from their different workplaces.
