Answer 2

While working remotely without any hard and fast rules has several benefits, it also includes some challenges. In such case there are few things that must be followed

Explanation:

Since you work in isolation, and hardly meet anyone, it is important that you meet your manager once in while and discuss your work, issues, etc. This can mean once a week, or once a month, or twice a year, depending on your situation. This personal interaction is essential in order to feel like you are part of the team. Working remotely can help you miss sight of the bigger aim behind your work and make your work feel like just a few tasks. In order to avoid this, remember the greater objective behind your work and the advantages it has for the world around you.

Make sure you frequently meet your manager and team. Update them proactively on your work and your progress for your team. Back to the last point, social relationships can also assist here every now and then. Stay informed and share your opinion on key issues constructively. You don't have to know at all times what everyone is doing. However, your team always focuses on a few important issues that you must be up-to - date and share your views on. Identify the two or three individuals that are most influential in your decision and contact them with any queries and your views.

Create relations with your organisation's key individuals. You naturally have to establish a strong connection with your boss, covered in the first bullet. But, identify two or three influential individuals in your company you want to have connections with: perhaps this is a rising star, a person with a political connection or a star. To create a dialog with them, ask their views and go from there and possibly even create a social link with them. This ensures they contribute to your decision-making.

Whenever you give feedback,  irrespective of whether you are remote or not: make it specific, describe it so they know about a problem, rather than evaluative it so feels as if you're condemning its work; take ownership of your feedback, rather than trying to blame others.
