BOF 2193 - How to work from home effectivelyMasoud Kalali
This is a BOF that shares the experience, pitfalls, to-dos, and to-avoids of working from home and working remotely. Lots of people are working primarily from home, and some are losing interest, losing touch with work, getting sidetracked, getting slowly ignored, and becoming ineffective. The speaker shares what he learned in the past six years of working from home with distributed developer, QA, documentation team, and product management.
Shaping your Employee Experience through Design ThinkingSara Coene
We define employee experience as seeing the world through the eyes of our employees and staying connected to their wants and needs, so they are committed to the larger business goals and results.
As the war for talent heats up, many companies have appointed a Head of Employee Experience and are developing a strategy to create an employee experience which takes into account the physical environment employees work in, the tools and technologies that enable their productivity, and learning to achieve their best at work.
HR leaders are leading this effort by reaching outside of the HR function to partner with Marketing and Internal Communications in order to create one seamless employee and customer experience. Making the workplace an experience allows companies to embed their culture and values in the workplace and use this to recruit and retain top talent.
In this slideshare you learn about employee experience, why it is so important to put your people first and what the (new) role of HR is.
Sara Coene is Organisational Change Coach, Employee Experience Designer and Design Thinking Facilitator supporting organizations and leaders in their change, with strong focus on team dynamics and development, using co-creation, visual design tools and insights from behavioral science. She is currently working as strategy designer & managing partner at Bedenk, a Belgium based business creativity agency making organizations futureproof.
The evolution of the workspace concept and environment was connected with the evolution of the human society and economy models through the history.
Today our society is based on knowledge and the workspace concept needs to evolve accordingly.
Even the word ‘work’ doesn’t mean the same as it did in the recent past and the promise of improved performance outcomes made possible by smarter workplace solutions is seductive to business and organisation leaders. At the same time, the promise of a new and more relevant way of working is attractive to people who want a more rewarding and more flexible ‘work’ experience. Process programme management suggests a simple methodology that can’t fail to deliver both. But the reality of delivering tangible and sustainable change outcomes that both excite and reassure a multi-faceted range of expectations requires a rich mix of skills as well as professional and personal commitments.

“Office work really is my bug bear,” says Jerry, who runs a white goods company.
“I was answering the phone from 6am to 9pm and it got to the point of stupidity. I had to turn the work down.”
“The girls at YVO have helped me to expand my business and have taken all of the paper work off my hands,” he says.
“I’ve now trained up four engineers and the business just keeps getting bigger and bigger. One of the big issues for me was that I couldn’t have a holiday. Now, I can switch off and the girls can run the company from the billing site. They’ve made it easier and now we all feel like part of the family business.”

Gone are the days of heading to the office for a 9-5 workday in a grey office environment. Remote work is happening everywhere, from coffee shops to airports. Dynamic companies are embracing the concept of workplace agility – where digital solutions, physical space and company culture influence output. Here are some ways an agile workplace operates:
Accelerating Employee Onboarding & Your Hybrid Workplace With Microsoft 365Richard Harbridge
Join us and learn how you can deepen your existing technology investment to support employee onboarding and your hybrid workplace.
A whopping 73% of employees want flexible remote work options to stay, says Microsoft in their latest report, The Next Great Disruption is Hybrid Work. This makes tailoring your employee onboarding to support the hybrid working model essential to the success of your team!
As such, many organizations are making the adjustments for a post-pandemic world and looking to prepare for and manage the explosive growth expected in the months and years ahead. But, from skills development and digital excellence to process automation and connecting employees to the resources they need at the right time, the challenges ahead are considerable.
Join LiveTiles along with LiveTiles Partner, 2toLead, CTO and Microsoft MVP, Richard Harbridge on Tuesday, May 11, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST as he explores:
How the “workplace” has changed
Why digital excellence should be prioritized in onboarding, especially when supporting hybrid work and the remote workforce
Ways organizations are looking to better leverage Microsoft 365 and their digital workplace investments to support this talent growth
How SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, and more can be used with support from LiveTiles solutions (pictured below) to improve the employee onboarding and hybrid work experience
Today’s growth in technological capabilities, exponential increase in computing power available to both consumers and enterprises, and almost ubiquitous Internet connectivity among other digital advances is changing the way employees and enterprises work.
Organizations are benefiting from the increased digitization of the workplace through increased productivity, cost savings, a more mobile and agile workforce, and generally increased flexibility and adaptability in an ever increasingly complex marketplace. Enterprises are collaborating more globally, and with more diverse and global staff. Employees can now work all over the world, from the jungle to the arctic, as long as they have reliable Internet.
While this has been a boom for employers, it has also changed the power balance in the employer-employee relationship, often more towards the employee. The ability to work from anywhere and stay connected through smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices has enabled employees to stay connected and collaborate with peers and stay on top of digital trends more readily than the organizations they work for.
This new digital workplace also creates its own challenges, including security, developing a new kind of digital etiquette to expectations for employees, and the tendency for building expectation of always being “on,” causing burnout and often leading to retention problems. Integrating digital technologies into the workplace can not only wreak havoc on the productivity of workers, but it also creates its own distinct culture, impacting the previous work culture and the general work experience. These changes will challenge the workplace by forcing both executives and employees to adapt the way they interact with each other and the technologies that enable their work.
Companies must be proactive in creating new systems and policies, and re-interpreting their corporate culture around digital in the workplace, or they risk losing clients, productivity, and employees.

As a pioneer in the staffing industry, and in the study of workforce preferences, Kelly takes a high-level look at collaboration as it pertains to the global worker today. In addition to analyzing worker preferences and psychographic insights based on survey data from the 2015 and 2014 Kelly Global Workforce Index™ (KGWI), this report pulls insights from Kelly Free Agent research (2015) survey data and other research sources. Unless otherwise noted, all statistics come from recent Kelly workforce research data.
Maßnahmen gegen den Fachkräftemangel in Europa in den Bereichen Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft und Technik: Warum eine Strategie der Inklusion entscheidend ist.
Wenn wir den massiven Fachkräftemangel in den MINT-Berufen (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft und Technik) in Europa lindern wollen, müssen wir schleunigst damit beginnen, mehr Frauen einzustellen. Und wir müssen dabei an einem Strang ziehen. Zur Optimierung des MINT-Talentepools durch größere Diversität bedarf es jedoch mehr als nur ein wenig zusätzlicher Mühe bei der Personalanwerbung. Vor allem gilt es, ein Klima der Inklusion zu schaffen, das die Einstellung und Bindung von Frauen in der MINT-Branche begünstigt. Gleichzeitig müssen Unternehmen die Beseitigung von Vorurteilen und Barrieren zur Priorität erheben und zur Chefsache erklären; Führungskräfte müssen aktive Unterstützung leisten und institutionelle Verantwortung übernehmen. Des Weiteren ist es von wesentlicher Bedeutung, Frauen in diesen Berufen ein besseres Mentoring zu bieten und die Diversität weiter zu erhöhen. Denn es steht eine ganze Menge auf dem Spiel – und das betrifft nicht nur Ihr Unternehmen, sondern die Zukunft der Branche in ganz Europa.
Als Pionier auf dem Gebiet der Personaldienstleistungen und der Erforschung von Arbeitnehmervorlieben bietet Kelly Services eine umfassende Analyse, die verdeutlicht, weshalb es so wichtig ist, gegen die Unterrepräsentation von Frauen in Europas MINT-Branche anzugehen. Dabei untersuchen wir auch, welche Faktoren Unternehmen berücksichtigen müssen, um diese Spezialistinnen langfristig zu binden.
Neben der Analyse von Arbeitnehmervorlieben und psychographischen Einblicken auf Grundlage der Umfrageergebnisse aus dem Kelly Global Workforce Index von 2014 und 2015 werden in diesem Bericht auch Erkenntnisse aus der Kelly Free Agent Research-Studie von 2015 und sekundären Quellen berücksichtigt. Sofern nicht anders angegeben, stammen alle Statistiken aus aktuellen Arbeitsmarktstudien von Kelly.
The Kelly Global Workforce Index (KGWI) is an annual global survey that is the largest study of its kind. In 2015, Kelly collected feedback from 164,000 workers across 28 countries across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions and a multitude of industries and occupations.
This study is taking a high level look at:
- Work-Life Design as it pertains to the global worker today.
- Women in STEM Talent Gap - a study that at the gap of women talent in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – fields.
- Career Management – specifically the emerging trend of do-it-yourself (“DIY”) career development – as it pertains to the global worker seeking to be as resilient as possible in today’s uncertain environment
- Collaborative Work Environment as it pertains to the global worker today.

made virtual meetings accessible to all workers with reliable Internet connections.
Remote work offers global opportunities for talent who seek to match their skills with
the companies and available positions that exist beyond the constraints of a physical
commute. It allows top talent, no longer bound by geography, to work wherever they
want to work, especially if their skill sets or occupations are in high demand.
Consequently, the virtual worker is often:
• technologically savvy
• comfortable working independently
• adept at balancing flexibility with strong processes and governance
• an effective communicator

VIRTUAL WORK
DEFINED:
Virtual work, often referred
to as remote work or
telecommuting, enables
the delivery of a task or
role via technology from
a location other than a
traditional workplace.

5. Is virtual work right for you?
Before committing to a virtual role, it’s important to assess if telecommuting is the
right choice for you. Ask yourself the following questions:
• When mapping out your career priorities, where does the ability to work remotely fall in
order of importance in comparison to salary, benefits, access to continued education,
and work-life balance? Is it important to minimize the time and costs of a daily commute,
allowing you to spend more time with your family or on your personal projects?
• Are there circumstances that limit your ability to commit to a traditional work
arrangement? Perhaps you recently moved for your spouse’s job and had to leave
your former employer; you have a disability that makes travel challenging;
or you’re a caregiver to young children or a sick family member. In these
situations, virtual work can be an effective solution that allows you to remain
professionally active.
• Do you have access to a space you can use as a home office, where you won’t
be disturbed? Being able to work the required number of hours is key to being a
successful virtual employee.

/05
6. • Are you good at structuring your time to meet objectives? As a virtual worker, you
need to act as your own manager to ensure your performance meets expectations.
• Do you have effective communication skills? Without as much face time as in a
regular office setting, you need well-honed written and verbal skills that allow you to
maintain relationships with the team at the office, as well as with clients or customers.
• Are you tech-savvy? Without an IT department to always rely on, you’ll need a solid
understanding of the equipment you’re using to do your job.

8. What you need to know about virtual work
The technology may be readily available, but not every job lends itself
to virtual or remote participation.
Those tasks and roles that are best suited to remote delivery are those found within
knowledge economies, i.e. developed industries and occupations that rely less on
primary industry and labor and more on highly educated and creative workers who
deliver services.
Many organizations face restrictions—either culturally, technologically, or both—that can
hinder smooth transitions to virtual work. And though not all organizations recognize or
support virtual work, the trend is gaining ground every day.
Here are just a few examples of how policies and flexible work cultures differ:
• Cisco®
– The average Cisco employee works from home two days per week.
Examples of Cisco telecommuters include voice engineers, network engineers, and
sales representatives.
• Deloitte – Deloitte offers an extensive telecommute program: over 86 percent1
of
Deloitte employees (auditors, consultants, etc.) work remotely.

9. • Netflix®
– Netflix has a “Freedom and Responsibility” policy; unlimited flexibility with
high demands for performance have created a motivated, talented workforce.
• Xerox®
– Xerox offers a Virtual Workforce Program and currently has more than
5,000 employees who work from home. Remote positions with this company include
customer care, tech support, data entry, and administrative support.2
• Yahoo!®
– The popular Yahoo telecommute policy was revoked in early 2013,
reportedly to create a more cohesive company where employees’ interactions
enhance creativity and productivity.

10. Leverage the remote working trend
in your current position
Close to one-third of the workforce (29 percent) works remotely3
for at least
part of the workweek.
If flexibility is something you want and need in your work, make it your priority to
properly understand your own company’s policy on the subject.
If your employer supports remote work, propose a six-month trial period. Show your boss
how a remote work arrangement can benefit everybody. Include the following points:
• The most recent statistics on remote workers. Global Workplace Analytics offers
up-to-date information about the number of employees who telecommute.
You can also cite other studies and sources.
• How your productivity will increase due to fewer distractions, shorter commute time,
increased concentration, and heightened job satisfaction.
• How working from home could greatly contribute to your need for better work-life
balance, which in turn feeds higher job satisfaction and productivity.

• How working from home reduces costs to the company in terms of office space,
materials, and other location-related expenses.
• How reducing or eliminating your daily commute aligns with your
environmentally conscious values. If your company has a “green” policy,
leverage it.
If your organization doesn’t have a policy in place, consider researching existing
policies and examples from other organizations in your industry. Citing other
companies as examples, create a report with statistics on the benefits of a remote
work policy for both employer and employees, and present it to your supervisor
along with a proposal for a six-month trial period.

12. Searching for a job with more flexibility
If you’re looking for a new job, make sure to find out about a potential
employer’s remote work policy in advance.
When working with a recruiter, discuss your preference for virtual work. Your recruiter
will know more about companies’ remote work policies and can advise you on
potential positions.
You can find out whether an employer is open to remote work arrangements by using
your social networking skills to ask current employees. Pose the question to your contacts
on LinkedIn®
, or join the company’s online talent community and reach out to those with
insider knowledge.
When you’re being considered for a position, use your discretion as to the best timing
to inquire about virtual work opportunities. Before broaching the subject, however, make
sure to review all public information on the company that pertains to its work policies.
With some employers, the topic will come up in your first interview, while others might
not bring it up unless you ask.

13. Tips for those who currently work remotely
If you’re currently working remotely, the following advice will help you stay
productive and on course, both personally and professionally.
• Remember to manage your career. If you’re not physically in the office, you might
not be the obvious choice for high-profile projects and promotions. By actively
managing your career and knowing how you want to advance, you’ll know when
to speak to your manager about more responsibility and how to make choices that
support your progress.
• Separate work hours from your personal time. Establish boundaries and stick to
them. Create blackout times, such as weekends or weeknights after 7 p.m., and
clearly communicate to others when you will and won’t be reachable. Unless it is
critical to do so, don’t send or respond to business emails during these times, but do
make sure you’re available during established working hours.
• Stay connected. Set aside time for collaboration and regular team check-ins via
virtual meeting tools. Ask your manager to ensure all team meetings include yourself
and any other virtual team members. Too often, this can be a missed step for many
remote workers.

14. LEVERAGING VIRTUAL WORK
MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE
TO YOUR REMOTE TEAM.
Employees working remotely can’t
simply drop by your office if they
have concerns, so establish set
times during which they can reach
out to you for guidance.
ESTABLISH SCHEDULES
AND DEADLINES. Use shared
calendars to help your employees
plan their schedules and ensure
they meet all their deadlines.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO PICK
UP THE PHONE. Though
email is an efficient method of
communication, the finer nuances
of regular conversation can get
lost in writing. When a situation
arises that could benefit from a
conversation, remember to call
your employee to make sure
you’re both on the same page.
• Maintain good relations with the team at the office. Even if you’re not physically
in the same space, you’re still part of the same company. Make sure to be courteous,
interested, and diplomatic at all times.
• Keep networking. Working remotely doesn’t have to limit your access to
networking opportunities. For those who work remotely, professional organizations
that can inform you as to what’s ahead in your industry become more important than
ever. Simultaneously, use social networks to virtually connect with thought leaders in
your field.
By following these tips, you can ensure that working remotely doesn’t limit your
opportunity for advancement. In today’s evolving work environment, managing a team
remotely is a reality, too.

15. Tips for remote interviewing
Some positions are virtual from the outset and may begin with job interviews via
Skype or other teleconferencing software.
When preparing for a remote interview, keep the following tips in mind:
• Know your technology. Ask the interviewer ahead of time what teleconferencing
software will be used and set an hour aside to practice it. Make sure you know how to
join the conference, as well as how to adjust your video and audio settings.
• Prepare an appropriate setting. It’s best to select a room in your home that’s free of
clutter and visual distractions. Check the lighting to make sure you’re not backlit, and
close the windows to minimize sounds from outdoors.
• Make sure you won’t be disturbed. Explain to any family members or roommates
that you can’t be disturbed for the duration of the interview. If you have small
children, ask a friend or neighbour to babysit. Put pets in another room where they
won’t distract you or react to the interviewer on the screen. And finally, if you don’t
need it for the interview, turn off your mobile phone.

16. • Look the part. A virtual interview is just as formal as a conventional interview,
so make sure you’re dressed appropriately and behave as you would in any
professional setting.
• Communicate properly. As much as possible, focus your eyes on your computer’s
camera, not on the image on the screen. This gives the interviewer the impression
you’re looking directly at him or her instead of looking off to the side. Speak clearly
and loudly enough for the microphone to transmit your words properly.

WHAT THE NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE LOOKS LIKE
Remote work means new possibilities
Centralized offices will evolve, providing a greater variety of work settings to
support collaboration and diversity regarding work preferences.
Employees will increasingly work in other distributed workplaces: at home, satellite
offices, supplier and customer locations, and off-shore.
The rise of the “third place” will continue. This means people will increasingly use
community spaces such as coffee shops and libraries to engage in and complete work.
Moreover, the number of co-working spaces—communal offices for individuals and
start-ups that offer economy and community, as well as collaborative opportunities—
is on the rise.
Remote work options will also broaden the candidate pool. This means workers
and organizations will be competing with many others outside their own
geographical location.
The increasing availability of virtual and remote work also opens up the candidate pool
for people who are unable, for any reason, to attend a workplace. This includes people
caring for others, as well as workers managing chronic illnesses or disabilities.

19. We’ve already entered a new era of job searching—
one where candidates don’t find jobs; jobs find them.
Careers are partnerships. That part hasn’t changed. What has radically altered is how
those partnerships are formed, implemented, and sustained between individuals
and organizations. Virtual work is just one factor that’s shaping the evolution of the
employment market. The key to your career success is to understand how you can make
this change work for you.
