Providing a schedule of availability is a great idea. I work in the office in the morning and at home in the afternoon. One of the things that was a struggle at first, and I received feedback on, was knowing when I was available. Providing a schedule is a great way to address that. How do you make it available and how often do you update it?
- bmj 17y agoI typically send an email in the morning of the day I'm working remotely with my availability schedule. If my schedule is going to be fluid, I tell folks to look at my Skype status--if I'm online, that means I am available. It's also advantageous to be able to simply forward your desk phone--when I'm available, my desk phone is forwarded to my mobile. When I'm finished working, the forward is deactivated (it also helps that only my direct manager has my mobile number, and he would likely only call if something had seriously blown up).
