The brilliant Alexandra Samuel, one of the world’s leading experts on thriving digital workplaces, has put together a checklist of the key competencies and skills needed to successfully – and happily! – navigate hybrid or fully remote work. Whether you’re a brand new employee starting your first job or a seasoned professional recently transitioning to hybrid work, or supporting other remote employees on your team, these skills, habits and strategies can be game-changers.
With her permission, here’s the same checklist in the form of an anonymous short survey.
See Alexandra’s original blog post, with her at-a-glance checklist, here. Print out the checklist on Alexandra’s site, or take the 3-minute survey, and reflect: What are the top three skills or habits you’re currently using that feel most effective? And what are the three areas you might want to tune-up in order to get work done with greater ease and impact?
There’s no ‘right answer’ – I love that one of Dr. Samuel’s constant caveats is that your digital work practices need to work for your unique strengths and needs – there is no ‘one size fits all’. What makes YOU feel happy, energized, and able to more easily focus on your priorities?
If you’re ready to learn about a ton of strategies and tips that can bring more joy and ease to your remote and hybrid work life, either for yourself or as a team leader, see Alexandra’s snappy, info-packed online LinkedIn course on remote and hybrid work here.
