Every leader should read this before bringing their office back to life
You might have gotten used to working from home during the pandemic, but don’t expect your boss to jump on board with the idea for much longer.
That’s right; when it comes to working from home, your boss is not here for it. Let’s break down why they might be resistant to the whole #wfh thing and how you can still make working from home work.
Productivity Concerns
Most bosses’ primary concern with you working from home is that your productivity will diminish. Therefore your role will not be as valuable to the company’s bottom line.
This concern is understandable; after all, many distractions at home can keep you away from your work. If someone isn’t keeping an eye on you, how do they know you are putting in a full day of work?
The solution: Make sure to often communicate with your boss and provide updates on your work. You can also set up daily check-ins or video calls so your boss can monitor your progress. You can use time-tracking software to add an extra layer of transparency.
