How to advance your career when working remotely
Hybrid and remote work are here to stay. Many associations are choosing to stay hybrid or full time remote, citing continued productivity, increased flexibility for employees, and increased employee satisfaction. Employees are even willing to take a pay cut to stay remote. While remote work offers many benefits, one common concern is how remote work could hinder career advancement due to a lack of in-person face time, communication challenges, and more limited networking opportunities. In particular, some past studies demonstrate that remote workers might be at a disadvantage when it comes to getting a promotion, especially in a hybrid environment where some employees are in-person.
As remote and hybrid work shifts from a temporary to permanent arrangement for many workers, it’s important to set strategies that can help remote employees advance their career and professional development. According to Jennifer Brummet, PhD, CAE, and Research Manager at the American Epilepsy Society, establishing clear lines of communication, connecting colleagues, tracking progress, and discussing expectations are some tips which may help to continue building your career and network while working from home. Making sure colleagues can reach you through agreed upon communication methods and identifying new projects or professional development opportunities are also essential. Additionally, pursuing accomplishments and job responsibilities will help to be successful in the current role and will help to prepare for the next career move, whether internal or external.
