Create Your Remote Work Plan — And Communicate It Right Away [Includes Template]

The following is a template for creating your own letter to colleagues and supervisors about your proposal for working remotely. It’s a tactical approach to handling the basics of your workspace, impacts on your workload and availability. It includes best practices for productivity, collaboration and connection that come from years of experience from remote workers around the world. You could also ‘flip’ this letter if you are a decision-maker on remote work to give people guidelines on what they should expect and do.

Instructions and ‘fill in the blanks’ are provided in brackets. Of course, remove or edit whatever you’d like in your own version.

Feel free to copy it into your own individual/team communications and adapt it. Attribution is great but not required. Linking to this post is always fine. Re-posting it without permission isn’t, though.

Free webinars and related content will be going on all week at causeit.org/events.
