Remote Work Assessment Template

You are a great communicator and networker who thrives on collaboration and teamwork. You naturally contribute to team spirit, spur creativity, and offer support to your colleagues.

The potential isolation that can come with working from home may freak you out a little.

Here are some tips to help you settle in to remote work:

• Set a daily meeting with your boss and a weekly team meeting.
• If you feel lonely during the day, join a virtual workspace, or zoom on mute with a friend while you work.
• Remember that some people work better alone and be sensitive to their needs.

You are a naturally independent worker. You know how to plan your day, prioritize tasks, and get things done without supervision. Remote work is actually perfect for you.

However, you may find yourself facing a few unexpected challenges. For example, you may lose touch with your team, or find it difficult to stop working at the end of the day.

Here are a few tips to help:

• Try to define clear boundaries and work-hours with your superiors.
• Make sure you join all team meetings. Teamwork contributes to creativity and innovation.
• Help your colleagues by sharing the tools and techniques you use to maintain focus and productivity.

You have your own way of getting things done and it usually includes doing multiple things at once. You're known for your great ideas and love helping others out.

For you remote work is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it gives you the freedom to work the way that's for you. On the other hand, the lack of framework may cause you to take on more than you can handle.

Here are a few tips to help you strike a balance:

• Work with a shared task management tool to stay focused and stick to plan.
• Set aside some distraction-free time every day, during which you turn off all app notifications and don't take calls or meetings
• Don't forget to set aside some time for your personal life. Rest is important.

You may not be a natural at remote work but you have developed a great strategy that works for you and maximizes your efficiency. You work according to a tight schedule that you've built for yourself. Every minute of your day is accounted for.

The challenge arises when your schedule is interrupted. You worry that any interruption will throw you off balance.

Here are a few tips to help:

• Communicate your need for order with your team.
• Schedule in advance whatever is possible and include flexible hours in your work plan taking into account the unexpected.
• Be tolerant with your colleagues, they don't mean to interrupt...
