Not every industry allows for remote work, but perhaps you can negotiate with your employer for at least partial remote work or a hybrid work system? <strong>It&#8217;s always worth asking and talking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>I would like to work remotely, but I don&#8217;t know what my boss will say.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to negotiate remote work with your employer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with yourself. Write down why you would like to work remotely, how it will make your life easier, and what it will change for you. Remote work often saves time \u2013 for example, in terms of commuting, greater flexibility during the day, and the ability to tailor your work to your lifestyle. Remote work has become particularly popular during the pandemic. This should make negotiating remote work easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also observe your company: are there other people working remotely, what is the attitude of your superiors towards remote work, is the company favourable or definitely not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t want to clip your wings, but to help you prepare even better for such a conversation. You may be the first employee to start working this way and pave the way for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Helpful questions to ask yourself:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Think about what your employer will gain if you work remotely or in a hybrid model.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do you and the company need to have or take care of so that you can work online?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Being prepared in this way will make you feel confident and put you in a better position to negotiate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros and cons of remote work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Saves time on commuting and sitting in traffic jams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater flexibility during the day and the ability to tailor your work to your lifestyle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work for any company\/country without having to relocate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saves money: you cook at home, you don&#8217;t pay for transport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You work the way you like, you have more freedom to set your own work rhythm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time for family and your own passions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remote work requires a lot of self-discipline, conscientiousness and assertiveness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is necessary to be able to set priorities: you decide what to do, there is no boss or manager behind you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is more difficult to maintain a work-life balance because even though you close your laptop, you still have your work at hand, so it is tempting to reply to an email or finish something<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of household chores may increase because, after all, \u2018you are at home\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>And you&#8217;re working remotely&#8230; So maybe you can make dinner and do the laundry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we know that when you work remotely, the rest of the household seems to think that you can pick up a parcel, do the laundry, cook dinner, etc. at the same time, which can be very frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set clear boundaries!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where setting your own boundaries comes in handy. You may feel a little lonely without contact with the rest of the team, without the exchange of ideas and energy that we get from other people. In this case, it is worth arranging video calls and working on your tasks together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, remember to make sure you can see the real faces of people in other places. Yes, we need to see other people&#8217;s faces \u2013 not just through Zoom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remote work can be a good option for women who are raising children, studying, travelling, and value flexibility and the ability to work from anywhere.
