Overview

As you eagerly anticipate your work at home life, different challenges will beset you depending on your personality, work requirements, and established lifestyle.

Are your personal tendencies to work until burnout sets in causing bitter feelings that coworkers are not working as hard?

On the flip side, do your personal predispositions mean you may get so distracted and interrupted that you turn in work late and can't meet deadlines?

Typical challenges we will cover in this webinar are how to:

  • Evaluate your personality and make goals for your work routine
  • Decide what hours to work and when to take breaks
  • Create boundaries between work and personal life
  • Create a morning routine
  • Close out every day
  • Plan your daily productivity
  • Adjust daily habits and routines to make remote work a success

We'll explore how to:

  • Sustain work-life balance
  • Maintain regular hours
  • Control your newfound freedom and flexibility
  • Stave off loneliness
  • Keep social bonds with coworkers strong
  • Maintain psychological safety
  • Overcome agoraphobia commonly known as cabin fever

When the benefits touted are better work-life balance, the elimination of 5 mile an hour traffic, money saved on your wardrobe, and the ability to customize your office, some individuals are not aware of the productivity traps inherent in working from home.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
