Work from home. Accept it or not when we were having regular office with this chaos of getting ready for office in the morning and regularly traveling to office, this pressure of reaching office on time, we always has this thought "Wish we could get a permanent work from home." Then 2020 happened.
2020 fulfilled this wish for us and we moved to remote working for almost 5 months now but the pressure still seems to be equal. You know why because most of the companies do not follow the work from home etiquettes.
We must be receiveing regular office mails on what etiquettes we should follow during WFH but here's few etiquettes which company should follow too.
Companies should make proper working timings for employees and should not stretch beyond it.
Meetings should be well scheduled in advance and a proper mention should be done whether it is a video meeting for just a regular call. Well !! we dont look presentable all the time at home. Accept and it hampers our privacy too.
When your call is not answered in first time have some patience and drop a message. There might be many reasons. "Nature call", "Bathing", "Eating", "doing any household activity" or "even stepping out to a shop nearby for buying essential stuff".
Stop showing WFH as a favour to employee and be compassionate enough as we all know that In this pandemic this was the only choice for both employers and employees.
WFH is new for the employees too, please trust your employees honesty. It's bread and butter for them too dont assume anything.
Let us learn together and make remote working a smooth way of working.
