Work At Home Jobs and Communications

Work At Home Jobs and Communications

More and more companies are encouraging their employees to consider working at home as a means to improve employee moral, productivity and reduce overall costs. At one time, and there are still many people who think this way, if you were not in the office, your boss thought you were goofing off. In this article we will explore some of the communications issues of work at home jobs.

Most people will say the single most significant advantage of work at home jobs is not having to face the morning commute with the stop and go traffic congestion on the highways. The most significant disadvantage that many employees complain about is the lack of face time with the boss and colleagues. They often express a feeling of being disconnected from the company and their co-workers. Both of these interface issues can be remedied, however both the work at home employee and the company must place additional effort on these issues. Ensuring adequate and regular communication is a must to avoid that disconnected feeling.

In this article we have assumed that the work at home employee is fully equipped with all of the office tools they need to be productive and meet the requirements of their company. The central issue of this article is how to ensure that remote employees are recognized and feel part of the team. There are a number of steps that each can take to make sure that communications are well done and that disconnected feeling is avoided.

For example, either the boss or the employee can initiate weekly conference calls to discuss progress on milestones and productivity, issues that may need resolution and communicate company information. These calls are often with the group as a whole and provide an opportunity for everyone to hear the same message and ask questions that the team may be interested in.

Next weekly, sometimes even daily short calls may be needed to discuss project or work specific items that need clarification or direction. These are usually short calls and used for each team member individually to discuss personal as well as specific issues. Dont let these wait, deal with them now, while you can still make a difference.

Finally, review how each team member likes to communicate. Some are much better using email and text messaging, while others are more reactive if you call them. Still in other cases, you may find that you have to chase some just to get the answers you need to do your job. Review each team member, including the boss and decide which form of communication is the best approach to use with them to ensure that your overall work at home experience is a success.

    Work from home opps are rarely real jobs. NEVER if they ask you to buy something or pay for your own training. Usually only very highly qualified people, like somebody who has been working the phones from home as sales rep, for many years, will qualify for work from home employees. Most of the work from home opps are bogus. Contact me if you want more info, but there is a very likely chance that you will NOT qualify to work from home. Many of the jobs listed as 'Virtual Jobs/Travel" can be found at the sites listed below.

    There are many good sites for career seekers though where you might find virtual jobs. I am a sales person and one of the products I sell is one of the top career building Web sites in existence. That said, I can tell you that you need to utilize numerous sites. Use the top ones listed in YAHOO and also look for niche sites, AND individual headhunter Web sites. If you seek six figure jobs, BE REALISTIC HERE, then htttp://6figurejobs.com/ is a great place to go. If you are in sales, then http://www.salesladder.com, for techies go to http://www.techcareers.com, and on. Use a few, test some to measure responses, then adjust. Evolve your strategy and don't stop it because you found a job. Keep yourself on the market.

    A couple of things you can do at home

    1. Day Trader (stock market). Buy low, sell high
    2. Be a consultant/broker for something you are good at.
    3. Sell stuff on an e-commerce site.
    4. Independent sales – bring customers to whatever company but do it on your own time (as long as you meet the sales goals per month).
    Good luck. I do all of the above and I work from home. Plenty of income, just need to hustle.

    The medical industry holds a wealth of different professions from the obvious nurse and doctor professions to adminstrative professions. My sister really wanted to work in this field, but she wasn't sure exactly what she really wanted to do. She unearthed the website in the resource box below, it has lots of instruction, and it aided her to decide what she really wanted to do. They have guidance with other jobs too.

    first never pay a fee for a work at home job. Those are always scams. Some major companies like American Airlines have work at home jobs. She needs to go to employment counselor which you can find at your states unemployment office.

    it feels like my brain doesn’t want to believe that is a painting and more of a picture. haha

    Perhaps their robotics design department is planning to buy new office chairs soon. Maybe they could let you test one of them at home before they make a purchase decision. You could communicate your findings via email. And as payment they might even let you keep the chair for free.

    All my jobs have required me to go into work bright and early every morning and to be on time, often with long commutes. Same with everyone else I know and have ever known. But if you're really looking for work you can do at home in your underwear and slippers there's always telemarketing and other telephone services.

  11. Susan says:

    They are all scams, I suggest you to better stay away from this BS.

    What do you know about each field? Which one interests you more? Or are you just looking for a job that will give you an income while you stay home? Check your community. Ask your own doctor about opportunities in the HIT field for at-home workers. What is your computer knowledge and interest? Do you know anyone in the field with whom you could talk? Both web development and networking/communications require extensive computer knowledge. Don't make the mistake of listening to the sales agents at these "career colleges." Talk to people who are doing the jobs you want to try.

    I managed to do very similar tasks from home for my last job. I'm sure you could do it – it all depends on your boss and the policies of the church. It's worth a try!
