Professional Etiquette for Remote Work

Post pandemic remote jobs have become more available. As we all know, they’re very unlike jobs that require in person office work so remote jobs certainly have their own set of rules and etiquette that we should comply to.

1. Effective communication is key. Send emails if its work related and if you need to schedule a virtual meet or speak of important matters pertaining to work.

2. Be on time! Meetings and conferences are frequently held. It’s important to be on time but it is honestly best to even be EARLY.

3. During these meetings try to keep your video on and on mute and try to add value to the discussion when needed.

4. Dress Professionally: Most meetings will take place on video calls. You should be prepared and dress professionally.

5. Make sure that you have a space that is quiet and work friendly with a minimal background for little distractions.

6. Be mindful about messaging coworkers and managers within office hours regarding work. Nobody wants to think about work after hours or during their off time.

7. Discipline: Because there is no one on top of you to get your work done, it is important that you learn discipline and focus when there are deadlines and work that needs to get done. Preferably, complete your work within the hours of your workday.
