The pandemic has drastically shifted the way we work, writes Caleb Yen for Job Journey, a blog of Express Employment Professionals, who has locations in Lansdale and Bryn Mawr.

Although many businesses are bringing employees back to the office, some are still working from home full time, or their company has adopted a hybrid approach that lets them work remotely several days a week.

That’s why it is as important as ever to stay productive while working remotely.

One of the main factors in ensuring high productivity is keeping the same routine. This means getting up at the same time, eating breakfast, starting work, etc. Any disruption to your routine can affect your workflow.

It is also important to have a designated workspace. This can help you separate your work and personal life and mentally leave work while still being in the same house.

Since working remotely can feel like you are working in a vacuum, it is important to schedule online meetings to discuss projects and deadlines with your colleagues to help alleviate this feeling.

Finally, make sure to maintain conversations with your co-workers through e-mail and messengers, to ensure everybody is on the same page.
