How To Impress Boss While Working From Home During The Corona virus Epidemic.

To reduce the
spread of
Corona virus Epidemic, educational institutions and markets shut down
in lock down across the country.Then managers and bosses of offices started
asking employees to Work from Home, where possible.

 

More Bosses and
managers may find that either by choice or by mandate, their staff will have to
work from home.

 

Working
from home in this
Corona virus Epidemic is convenient; you can impress your
boss, while working from home. It takes a bit of effort and planning to make it
really work. Once you’re set up and know what to expect, though, you can enjoy
the time savings and impress your
boss.

 

Doesn’t let
working from home stall your efforts to impress your boss and plant the seeds
to continue your career advancement. Here are Tips to demonstrate your
leadership when working from home:

(1) Do more than what has been asked.

You may have a
little more time for your work since you will not be commuting. Leverage this
extra time to exceed expectations. Don’t wait your Boss to ask
 you to
research the background of a potential business client.

 

Consider going a
step further and identify ways to approach the prospective client and pitch it
to your boss.Impress your boss by thinking outside the box and being a
strategic partner.

 

Leaders don’t just do what they are told to do. Leaders
do what has to be done to do the work well.

(2). Propose an idea, be more active

Bosses
are also impressed with professionals who are proactive. It helps managers when
their reports identify and solve an issue to benefit the team. For instance,
you learn about a time-saving application that you think might make data
collection for your team easier and more effective.

 

When events like
the
corona virus outbreak restricts a company’s ability to do business as usual,
proposing an idea that might help your boss save money could help you to make a
positive impression. Your boss will see that you are thinking like a business
leader.

 

Bosses may not have the time to think critically about all
aspects of the work, especially inefficiencies that could be holding up or
frustrating the work. Take responsibility, propose an idea and follow through
with it.

 

Social
distancing doesn’t have to thwart your efforts to impress your boss and attain
your professional goals. Maintain regular communication with your manager,
exceed expectations where you can and be proactive.

(3). Send periodic updates present and Brief

While you may
not be in the office, you can still keep in contact with your manager and
colleagues. You might send a weekly email to or schedule a weekly call with
your manager communicating what you have accomplished in the past week and what
you plan to do the following week.

You don’t need to send your boss an email after you do
every little thing (unless they specifically told you to do that), but sending
updates will give your boss a grasp on what you are accomplishing in your
department.

 

Sending a list
of intended goals at the beginning of the day and a list of accomplishments at
the end of the day is a great way to keep your boss in the loop on your
productivity.

(4) Do Your Best on“Video Conference”

Treat video
conference meetings as if they were in-person work meetings. Come to the
meeting a few minutes early to show punctuality, and make sure you wear
something professional,a nice collared shirt, for example, will show you are
present and professional, even when your boss isn’t watching.

(5) Pay Attention

Whether it is in
video conferences, phone calls, emails, or any other means of communication,
you want to be paying attention. One of the most effective ways your boss will
see this is during video conferences.

 

Actively listen and look at your computer screen during
meetings. If you are visibly distracted by your phone or something in your
home, it will not only make you look unprofessional but also could tell your
boss you are not working at home effectively.
