How to Make Working from Home, Work for You
For most of us, what's happening in the workplace is unprecedented. Many of us, who are happy to still be employed, have been thrust into working from home with little to no preparation. As the situation evolves quickly, it's important to think outside the box to be able to continue servicing our clients. In the legal industry it is time for a paradigm shift. Many firms have struggled with allowing people to work from home for a myriad of reasons. At this point, we have no choice. To help you get off on the right foot, the following are some best practices as we move forward into this new working environment.
Create your Spot: If you never thought about rooms in your apartment or house that could function as an office, it's time to take inventory of areas that are quiet, have great internet access and several outlets. If sharing the home with a spouse or a roommate(s), think about how to divide the space to accommodate everyone. One person might need to transform their bedroom into a temporary office while another gets the coffee table. You'll need to have the ability to close a door or find a quiet area to take calls, be on a video conference or simply just to think. As humans we like to "nest" which is why we have pictures in our work areas and use our favorite coffee mug. Do the same at home.
