One of the big challenges people face when working from home is maintaining visibility with their managers and other key stakeholders who decide on issues critical to their career.
These include
? Work assignment
? Performance evaluation
? Transfers and Promotions
Here are 5 ideas to help you remain visible when working remotely
✅ Keep your video on during meetings as far as possible
While your company and stakeholders may not insist on this, staying visible improves communication and increases trust.
✅ Compensate for loss of face time with more short 1-on-1 calls
✅ Keep your work visible by saving it online and making it accessible to stakeholders
Document progress within the document with a checklist or comments
✅ Share progress in team meetings
Highlight decisions you have made. Make your thinking visible - by being explicit about data sources, assumptions, inferences, and ask for comments.
✅ Engage stakeholders on critical assumptions and decisions as you are working rather than when you need formal sign-offs
Highlight challenges and ask for help sooner rather than later.
Visibility is a key factor that impacts your career success.
Make sure you maintain or enhance your visibility when you work from home.
