Safer Work From Home Tactics
A study by psychological researchers at the German University of Wurzburg have identified four tactics they say provide the highest level of satisfaction and feelings of being in control for people working from home.
These tactics are amazingly simple and align with best practice we have been applying for some time.
Key tactics for work-from-home include:
Keep personal and work times separate eg schedule specific work times and prohibit work after agreed finish time eg 5pm.
Provide clear separate work area in the home eg physical boundary from living spaces.
Clarify agreed work schedule with all supervisors and managers, to avoid unintended interruptions from office during personal time.
Avoid software notifications outside work hours eg automated text messages and emails.
