Prepare yourself to share your points of view
The situation is this, you guys work for a company and the boss is considering remote work for you but he wants to know how you would adapt to it.
Team, I want to discuss the possibility of having you guys work remotely. I have concerns in terms of (1) workspace, (2) productivity, (3) communication, (4) collaboration, (5) resources, (6) connectivity, (7) security, (8) engagement.
This is some extra help to understand those terms:
- Workspace – home office setup.
- Productivity – output and efficiency.
- Communication – team interaction and updates.
- Collaboration – working together on projects.
- Resources – access to software, hardware, and tools.
- Connectivity – internet speed and reliability.
- Security – data protection and privacy.
- Engagement – employee motivation.
Example of responses:
- If you have concerns about security, we can encrypt all the data.
- If communication seems to be issue, we will start using Slack.
