Remote working

Working from home requires no small amount of discipline. In terms of both quality and deliverables, there should be no difference between the work you produce at the office or while you’re telecommuting. Create a routine and process that’s fair to both you and your employer, and follow it as closely as you would when you’re at your workplace. Discover our vacancies

Tips to remain productive when working from home

Create a daily prioritized to-do list with short-term goals for important projects, and stick closely to a set schedule that includes breaks. Maintain regular communication with your manager, and schedule recurring online meetings or calls when possible. Stay connected by making sure your home computer, phone and other required equipment are up-to-date and safeguarded by your company against security threats.

How to preserve your private life?

Limit distractions by establishing an area that’s designated exclusively for work. Tackle chores or manage other domestic responsibilities during breaks or designated time periods. Make time for yourself and your family by dedicating time to unplug, decompress and take care of your private life.
