Become a Teleworker

Self-Assessment

Teleworking changes an employee’s work habits and lifestyle, so it’s important to conduct an honest self-assessment to make sure the changes won’t be negative.

A prospective teleworker should take many things into consideration, including:

• Is my work enough to keep me busy while I’m away from the office?
• Can I work independently, without supervision?
• Can I keep in touch with my manager and co-workers without seeing them in person?
• Does my alternative workspace provide all I need to remain productive?
• Will anything in my personal life detract from my work performance?
• Will my schedule allow me to travel to the office as needed?
