> Your office


A designated location


It is important to have a workspace separate from areas that are more associated with leisure and relaxation. This way, you optimize your concentration and adopt the right mindset for work. If you don't have a dedicated room, you can use a quiet space away from distractions. Working from a café or a library is an alternative solution that allows for a change of scenery.













> Comfort


A pleasant environment


Make sure to have a comfortable chair and a table at the right height to avoid sitting in a bad position for long hours. Also, take the time to personalize and decorate your workspace in a way that makes it pleasant and enjoyable for you. Prioritize a well-lit and organized room.

> Productivity


The suitable hardware


You will need the same equipment that you use in your company's offices (functional computer, reliable and fast internet connection, telephone, etc.). The work done at home should be as effective as when you are in your work environment. Don't hesitate to inquire with your management to organize the transfer of equipment.

> Routine


Schedule your days


It is essential to have an established work routine and organize your days when working from home. Set working hours for yourself and stick to them. Daily tasks should not interfere with your work schedule. It is also important to take regular breaks to relax and recharge.

> Communication


Interact with your work team


Working from home can be isolating, so make sure to stay in touch with your co-workers. Regularly communicate with your team ; Through video conferencing or phone calls, in order to provide updates on your tasks and ongoing projects. Discuss your challenges and obstacles, but also take the time to have lighter conversations.
