Thanks to our rapidly advancing technology, it is now perfectly possible for most workers to complete their daily tasks from home. Broadband internet, computer technology and advanced telecommunications means that where we would once have had to be in an office with a bunch of office equipment and a phone system and meeting rooms, we can now run most of our business from a single computer even if you are at home.
This is especially useful now that the daily commute for many people is the absolute bane of their lives, so being able to stay home and still do their job would be a dream come true. Here are a few tips on how you can achieve this for yourself.
Ask your boss
The first thing you will need to do is to ask permission. If you work for a company they may not see you working from home as a good idea right away. What you need to do is to prove that you can be just as productive, if not more so, when you work from home.
Divert office numbers
You can show him that by diverting your calls through your home number it will be as if you are still at your desk at work. Plus you can still pick up and work with your emails using online email accounts and if your project management software is online then you should have no barriers to stop you from completing your job.
What about meetings
What your boss may come back and say is that you won't be in the office to hold face to face meetings. To this you could offer him video conferencing, as with the quality of broadband now available combined with new video conferencing software and the right computer accessories, it is possible to have a proper meeting without anyone at all needing to be in the same room. You don't even need any office furniture.
Advantages
So now accepting that it is possible...what will the advantages be for you when working from home? You will of course be able to forget about that horrible commute to work and instead be able to get out of bed a few minutes before clocking in, by just turning on your computer. You can look forward to home cooked meals for lunch instead of packed lunches or deli sandwiches. You can be in to accept packages and if you need to get the plumber round. Plus, if you want to work all day from home in your pants you can. Although be sure never to arrange a video conference for those special days.
