QUESTIONNAIRE FOR INDIVIDUALSAre You Ready to Work Remotely?

When it comes to what makes for an ideal remote worker, the consensus is clear: remote working is not for everyone. Some crave the working-together energy of being around teammates, as well as the sense of connection from in-person interactions. Some need the structure and nose-to-the-grindstone work environment of an office. Some find a predetermined schedule helps them stay on track. Some need extra guidance. And some just need more social interaction than a day’s worth of video calls can provide. So whether you’re planning to ask your boss to offer the remote option or you’re hoping to be a company’s newest remote hire, you’ll want to find out in advance just how prepared—and suited—you are to being a great teammate from afar. Then, once you know where you currently stand, you’ll know what to focus on to become even more prepared—or if you should stick to the on-site option for now.
