COM 321 Remote Working Expectations Memo
Now that the company has begun to offer more remote working opportunities, we thought it might be
helpful to provide some high-level guidance on working remotely.
1. Be a Chatterbox: Talk with your coworkers frequently to keep everyone in the loop.
2. Flip on Your Webcam: Studies have shown that turning on your webcam and seeing your
coworkers’ smiling faces can help build and strengthen the working community. While this isn’t
required, it is helpful!
3. Jump Up, Jump Up, and Get Down!: Take a lesson from recording artist House of Pain and jump
around! Getting up and moving throughout the day, as well as taking timely breaks, can help
increase productivity.
4. Be Mindful of Time Zones: Not everyone is located in the same time zone, so a 2 p.m. meeting
for you may be a 7 p.m. meeting for someone else. Make sure to be considerate of your inhouse and remote teammates when scheduling meetings.
Thanks, team!
