Going Remote: A 10-Point Checklist to Determine If Your Job Can Be Performed Remotely and 3 Ways to Convince Your Employer You’re Prepared

With the advancement of technology, working remotely has become increasingly popular among employees. However, not all jobs are compatible with remote work arrangements. In this blog, we present a 10-point checklist to help you determine if your job can be performed remotely and offer three effective ways to convince your employer that you are well-prepared for remote work.

10-Point Checklist to Determine If a Job Can Be Performed Remotely:

1. Communication: Is the job heavily reliant on communication? Can that communication be done remotely via phone, email, or video chat?
2. Equipment: Does the job require specialized equipment that can only be used on-site or can it be accessed remotely?
3. Internet Access: Does the job require high-speed internet access, and is it available at the potential remote work location?
4. Data Security: Does the job require handling sensitive data, and can that data be secured while working remotely?
5. Training and Onboarding: Can the job be trained and onboarded remotely?
6. Collaboration: Does the job require collaboration with other team members, and can that collaboration be done remotely?
7. Time Management: Does the job require strict time management, and can that be monitored and measured remotely?
8. Performance Monitoring: Can the job be monitored for performance remotely, and what metrics will be used to track it?
9. Health and Safety: Are there any health and safety concerns that need to be addressed for remote work?
10. Legal and Compliance: Are there any legal or compliance issues that need to be addressed for remote work, such as taxes, insurance, and liability?

3 Ways to Convince Your Current Employer That You Are Prepared to Work Remotely:

1. Highlight Your Experience: If you’ve worked remotely before or have experience working independently, emphasize this on your resume and in your cover letter.
   
2. Demonstrate Your Ability to Communicate: Ensure your communication skills are polished and that you have experience with the communication tools your employer uses. Be responsive and organized in your communication with your current team.
   
3. Be Transparent and Flexible: Be open to compromise and willing to negotiate. Discuss the benefits of remote work with your employer and be willing to work out a trial period or set up a schedule that works for both parties.

Working remotely has become an increasingly popular option for many employees, and it is important to assess whether your job can be performed remotely before making the transition. By using the 10 point checklist we provided and demonstrating your ability to work remotely, you can make a compelling case to your employer that you are prepared to work remotely. With careful planning and communication, you can successfully transition to remote work and enjoy the many benefits it has to offer.
