Let’s get started with my tips for performing the working woman’s balancing act without falling flat on your back with Tip #1.
Tip #1 – Telecommute: Allows people who live far from their place of business to work from home for certain work days and be more effective in their position, because they are not doing long commutes. It’s suppose to allow more productive time for the employer and also give flexibility to the employee if they have children.
If you’re like most working women, you’ve probably imagined how wonderful it would be to wake up 1 or 2 days each week and have your morning commute take you from the coffee maker in your kitchen to the computer in your home office instead of down the freeway battling traffic on your trek into your office.
But…you probably assume your boss would never go for it. Or, if your boss made an exception for you to telecommute a couple of days a week, then he or she would have to do the same for everybody else in your office, right?
But, you may be wrong!
Surprised? Don’t be. Studies show the majority of bosses are actually very supportive and encouraging of telecommuting.
Why?
Well, because bosses are learning that employees who are allowed the kind of flexibility telecommuting offers them end up being happier employees, performing better in their jobs, and stay in their positions longer.
Sounds like a win – win, doesn’t it?
Join me as I continue to show you how to get your boss to go along with telecommuting and help show you how you can perform the working woman’s balancing act without falling flat on your back.
Remember, if you shoot for the moon and miss, you are still among the stars!
