The Key to Staying Visible While Working From Home

The pandemic has changed lives all over the world. Many people have lost their jobs and others are worried about how long they will continue to have a job. During these times of uncertainty, it’s important that you’re making an effort to demonstrate your worth at work. 

While working from home you might not have a lot of interaction with coworkers or your boss. Perhaps you have a weekly meeting, but apart from this, you’re working by yourself. Now that you don’t have small interactions throughout the day, you’re maybe wondering if your boss and coworkers still remember you and your hard work.

While there is a great deal of uncertainty, you can make sure that you and your accomplishments remain visible to your company even while working from home. Minetum is here to offer you some advice on how to demonstrate your value and help you thrive in your job while working from home.

Complete your work tasks

It’s always essential to complete your work assignments, but especially during times where companies have to lay off people. You should make sure that you complete all of your tasks and that you do them well. It’s worth it to go the extra mile and really deliver high quality.

Make sure that you have a system in place that can help you stay on top of your tasks. Keep a list next to you and check off the topics, when you have completed them. This is also beneficial because while working from home it can be difficult to manage your time well, so by keeping a list you’re making sure that you complete everything you had to.

Share your accomplishments

This should be done in a tactful way, so be careful not to brag. You should however share it with your boss when you have accomplished something important. If you have a weekly meeting with your boss, you could share some highlights from the previous week to increase your visibility. It’s a good idea to focus on how your accomplishment has helped the organization, so you remove focus from yourself and avoid sounding like you’re excessively bragging.

Be a team player

Try your hardest to avoid disagreements with coworkers. This is a time to spread positivity and elevate your team. Before a meeting take a moment to talk about something unrelated to work or COVID-19. It doesn’t matter what it is, but positive energy is good for teamwork and it demonstrates your worth to the people around you.

Do you need help maintaining high performance and work satisfaction in your team? Minetum offers an unique training day that provides you with concrete tools to make the ideal team.

Be helpful

Even though it’s a stressful time, and you shouldn’t overwhelm yourself with unmanageable work tasks it’s a good idea to be extra helpful. For instance, you can try to turn your work in early so your boss has more time to review it or be extra prepared for your meetings making everything run more efficiently. If you have extra time on your hands, you can even ask for extra assignments and show your boss that you take initiative. 

While following these steps can’t guarantee job security, Minetum believes you will stand out and remain visible to your boss and coworkers.
