Proceed up the very good perform.

Thank you Randy!

Valerie, I would love to see your presentation. I sit on the exact same seat as you. It would be interesting to see your oresentstion

Thank you for adding so much to this discussion. I can relate to the family demands of working from home. I’ve had several discussions with my wife when she has left me a “to-do” list when I’m working from home!

I also find the opposite happening where sometimes you are tougher on yourself when working alone and pushing yourself to crazy hours! I find scheduling everything helps. Not just work related stuff but literally everything including me time. 🙂

Also thought I’d share information regarding an interesting experiment shared by HBR which found Telecommuters Are More Productive on Creative Tasks, Less on Dull Ones! A telecommuting experiment involving university students shows that working remotely reduces productivity by 6% to 10% if the task involves typing randomly generated characters but boosts productivity 11% to 20% for the job of imagining unusual uses for a tin can, says E. Glenn Dutcher of the University of Innsbruck in Austria. So if a task is tedious, an employer should make sure it’s done in the office, but when it comes to creative work, a manager might do best to allow employees to work remotely, Dutcher says!

Good luck Valerie! I’ve sent you an email with more specific information you may find helpful.

Good points Rama. Establishing an effective work-from-home system is not an easy task. There are many complicated factors involved, particularly understanding that not every person has the right personality, work style, or discipline to be a successful work from home employee.

Best regards,

Randy

Great points Simon. Working from home by yourself can require a greater degree of self discipline and it’s important to be self-aware and create the support systems you need to help you succeed.

Take care,

Randy

Hi Ryan. I agree with you, it is about delivering results. As long as the worker is performing well, their location is somewhat irrelevant (obviously it depends on the nature of the job and the needs of the business). Just because someone works from home doesn’t mean it isn’t wise to have some performance monitoring systems in place to keep tabs on how they’re doing – that’s just common sense.

Thanks for your feedback and adding to the discussion!

By setting standards for your own performance, measured by yourself of course, and assuming you take 100% responsibility for you results, you can create an environment of productivity rather than just activity.

Setting “Performance Expectations” will help you create clarity on what you want to achieve. “Dealing with Performance Issues” comes from “Evaluating Results” you actually create. It takes self-discipline and commitment but adopting the tips from this article can only help create more productive results when applied with consistency.
