Publisher's Synopsis
Working online or remotely has become a necessity for many this year. However, this is just the start of a larger trend. It is predicted that by 2027, the majority of the US workforce will be working remotely online. The office work lifestyle is familiar to most people: get dressed in your company clothes, commute to work, work in a room with a few other people, take scheduled breaks, et cetera.
But remote workers at online jobs don't encounter most of those situations. They don't need to get dressed in company attire or commute to work. But it can be difficult for online workers to navigate working away from the office. Best practices are not as well defined because online work-at least in its current form-is still relatively new, so it can be difficult to know how you should act when working from home. There is no single formula for how to become an efficient online worker. Everyone will work at different times and have different tips on how to make the most of their time. Indeed, one of the major benefits of remote work is the flexibility it affords. Working from home means that you can adjust your schedule to suit your commitments and your timetable as it is in your hands now. However, this means that you need to learn what works best for you when managing your priorities and time and everyone is slightly different. That said, there are a few common practices you can expect to use as a remote worker. In this guide, we've compiled the best practices for online remote workers, ranging from how to participate in meetings to how you can find an online job as a remote worker. If you're working from home or aspire to do so, this guide is for you.
