How To Be Convincing
When I think about how the working world used to be fifty years ago, I do actually feel slightly sick. Look at where we are now! We can work from practically anywhere at any time, and all we need is a laptop, an internet connection (or mobile phone with one) and some motivation. OK, so the motivation can be a bit of a problem – especially when your office is a massive enchanting lake with the sun setting there at the back– – but still, it’s a good deal whichever way you look at it.
Another person who thinks it’s a good deal writes about this at the following post. Have a look if you badly need some ammunition to convince your employer to let you out of the office.
This Enigin guide is brilliant. Because, while working from home makes sense in many ways, there are obvious reasons why an employer might be skeptical about your productivity when he or she can’t keep his beady slave-driving eye on you. I wouldn’t, I know I wouldn’t. If I was the boss of a company and someone asked me if they could ’work from home'I would probably say no. But when confronted with such an extensive list such as this, I’d like to think I could trust them.
There is one enormous benefit to allowing employees to work from home, of course, and that’s the happy factor. When an employee is happy then of course he or she will likely be more productive.
