Home Office attracts more potential candidates due to the fact that there are no geographical boundaries and the company shows itself as a flexible and forward-looking employer who responds to the needs of employees and shows them recognition and trust.

Lack of social contacts and isolation

Lack of social contacts and isolation

It’s not a secret that working in the office is a great opportunity for social contact. In the office we meet, build mutual relations, participate in "face to face" meetings. Working from home can cause feelings of isolation, which can, in the long run, negatively affect well-being and motivation to work. The climate of working together in the office affects team integrity and work culture. It's hard to feel like you're in the same boat when you've never met.

Communication issues

Remote work creates further challenges: the exchange of opinions and views with employees, requires the use of other work tools and requires from managers additional effort while communicating with employees. Communication through available communicators does not always turn out to be sufficient and effective.

Blurred line between work and personal life

Blurred line between work and personal life

Some people working from home emphasize that the border between work and personal life is blurring. Many people can't say to themselves, "I'm not working from this point on" and just turn off the computer. The fact of not keeping this border, may affect negatively the employee's worklife balance.

How to be a remote worker? Here are the 6 golden rules that I recommend

Take care of the workplace

Take care of the workplace

While working from home, it’s very important where and how you work. Take care of an ergonomic workplace: a clean desk, a suitable chair will be OK, while working from the sofa in the living room may negatively impact your concentration and will adversely affect your health. A fixed work structure is crucial for concentration. That's why an important part of the rules of the home office is to stick to the morning routine. Get up on time, take a shower and have breakfast.

Stick to set working hours

Stick to set working hours. Thanks to this, you will stay in touch with colleagues and superiors and thus maintain your work life balance. Set a framework when you focus on work, reply to emails to avoid stretching tasks for the whole day.

If you have the opportunity to adjust hours for conceptual work and meetings with your team or client, do so taking into account when you are the most productive.

Track to-do lists

Turning on the computer, replying to emails, calls, replying on chat… lots of small tasks that you need to remember. But when, for example, the doorbell rings, the thing that you wanted to do is quickly forgotten. That's why a to-do list is a good idea, even if you're working from home. Completed tasks are marked, which in turn, helps you monitor the amount of work you've done.

Avoid distractions

Often there is a will to follow the rules of the home office, but then small distractions appear, which take a long time and interfere with concentration. Therefore your household members should be aware that remote work does not mean constant availability, and homework is done after working hours.

Those who work productively and follow the rules of home office can lose themselves in this atmosphere and let the hours pass. Therefore breaks are very important for keeping the efficiency. Breaks will enable to look at work from a different perspective. They also create new energy for future tasks.

After a few days or weeks of working from home it's hard to keep motivation high. A completed to-do list provides satisfaction, but rewards trigger even more motivation. A cup of fresh coffee for a particularly well-done task or a longer break after a difficult problem solution are small rewards spread throughout the day that show how valuable your work is and increase your ambitions.

Both working from office and working from home have their advantages and disadvantages that every employee should be aware of. For well-established teams with clearly defined tasks, working from home is not a problem. Hybrid work is a great option, for example, three days in the office and two days at home. These are the rules we have implemented in Monogo.
