#HOMEbase

Andrea Cannavina understands the process of remote legal work. She's been at it for nearly 20 years as the CEO of LegalTypist. Andrea gives us a checklist of tasks that those new to the remote work environment needs to be successful, and stay sane. From the physical aspects of setting up a work area in your home, to the equipment needed, to the routine you'll fall into as you become more aware of the requirements of remote work. You're not just taking your normal work routine from the office and reapplying it to an in-home situation. It's going to be different.

It's not just the workers who are going to struggle with the new work from home model. Managers will have a difficult adjusting as well. Especially those who think that if they don't have their eyes on their employees, that means they are slacking. Andrea's advice here is that managers need to understand that work at home is a process. If something isn't going well, it is the process that needs evaluating more than the people. It's especially important that managers not immediately go into "blame mode" when something doesn't quite work out. Remember to work on the process before you blame the people.
