1 Equipment and software

One of the most essential benefits for remote workers is having the right tools and technology to do their job effectively. This may include a laptop, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, a headset, a webcam, a printer, and any software or apps that you need. You can negotiate for your employer to provide, reimburse, or subsidize these expenses, depending on their policies and budget. You can also ask for a stipend or allowance to cover any upgrades or repairs that you may need in the future. To justify this benefit, you can emphasize how it will improve your performance, productivity, and security.

One of the silver linings to the pandemic was that more and more employees can work remotely and be extremely productive. If you’re lucky enough to have an offer for one of those opportunities, you can negotiate for some unique benefits for that situation. You can ask for a stipend to set up a home office, reimbursement for Wi-Fi and cell phone expenses, flexibility in your schedule and hours potentially, and other benefits that may be specific to your role too. No harm in asking and you may not get everything you’re looking for but if you don’t inquire you’re doing yourself a disservice. Go for it!

In my experience, it can often be challenging to work remotely. A person needs the tools of an office to make it happen. This would include a computer, mobile phone, printer/scanner, and camera. I think a reliable internet connection is very important. Who pays for these amenities?

2 Internet and phone

Another important benefit for remote workers is having reliable and fast internet and phone service. These are essential for staying connected, collaborating, and accessing online resources. You can negotiate for your employer to pay for or contribute to your internet and phone bills, or to provide you with a mobile device or hotspot. You can also ask for a flexible plan that allows you to adjust your bandwidth or data usage according to your needs. To justify this benefit, you can highlight how it will enhance your communication, responsiveness, and quality of work.

3 Home office and ergonomics

A third benefit for remote workers is having a comfortable and ergonomic home office. This may include a desk, a chair, a lamp, a fan, a heater, a noise-canceling device, and any other items that make your work environment more conducive to your health and well-being. You can negotiate for your employer to cover or share the cost of setting up and maintaining your home office, or to provide you with a voucher or discount for purchasing these items. You can also ask for a health and safety assessment or training to ensure that you are following the best practices for remote work. To justify this benefit, you can demonstrate how it will reduce your stress, fatigue, and risk of injury.

4 Time and schedule

A fourth benefit for remote workers is having control over their time and schedule. This may include setting your own hours, choosing your own breaks, taking time off, and adjusting your workload. You can negotiate for your employer to respect your preferences and boundaries, to accommodate your personal and family obligations, and to trust your judgment and autonomy. You can also ask for a clear and consistent communication system that allows you to update your status, report your progress, and request feedback. To justify this benefit, you can show how it will increase your motivation, engagement, and satisfaction.

As someone who works remotely, one needs to stay on task. It's easy to say, "I'll just put in this one load of laundry." Invariably, you could get sidetracked and not accomplish your daily goals. One helpful thing is to have a small journal and handwrite the tasks I must achieve each day. It keeps me focused rather than keeping everything in my head. It's a great feeling to cross off something!

5 Learning and development

A fifth benefit for remote workers is having access to learning and development opportunities. This may include online courses, webinars, podcasts, books, mentors, coaches, and networks that help you improve your skills, knowledge, and career prospects. You can negotiate for your employer to support or sponsor your learning and development goals, to provide you with a budget or time allocation, and to recognize your achievements and contributions. You can also ask for a regular and constructive performance review that identifies your strengths, areas for improvement, and opportunities for growth. To justify this benefit, you can explain how it will boost your confidence, creativity, and value.

6 Wellness and culture

A sixth benefit for remote workers is having a positive and supportive wellness and culture. This may include wellness programs, activities, incentives, and resources that promote your physical, mental, and emotional health. It may also include culture initiatives, events, recognition, and feedback that foster your sense of belonging, identity, and purpose. You can negotiate for your employer to invest in your wellness and culture, to provide you with a variety of options and choices, and to encourage your participation and input. You can also ask for a regular and meaningful check-in that acknowledges your challenges, celebrates your successes, and addresses your concerns. To justify this benefit, you can illustrate how it will improve your morale, loyalty, and retention.

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." -Consultant and author, Peter Drucker It is imperative that focus not be placed only on the flexibility remote work provides and take into account the culture of the work environment, as it will impact your success. When the opportunity comes to ask questions of your prospective employer, consider asking how they ensure the inclusion of their remote employees when it comes to items such as onboarding, activities and wellness activities. Participation in activities like these can foster a sense of belonging, which is connected to your workplace satisfaction.

Wellness+Culture+VIRTUAL-REALITY= Acknowledgement and Respect of People and Universal Change. The argument out in many articles now is that Coporate Giants are pushing their to People to RTO 100% with all sorts of incentives or see the door. Where is the true incentive of wellness, culture, and respect with that aggressive behavior? If there is a need for adaptation bottom-up then there should be a reciprocation of that adaptation top-down. Without it, how can anyone justify or illustrate loyalty? Let's stop normalizing many are just numbers/replaceable and watch the leading indicators rise in everyones' favor. Hope this makes sense.

As a remote worker, I agree with all of the above articles. By all sense and purpose, a remote worker should not be treated any differently to other workers. It is a mutual agreement between you and your employer, which carries obligations and responsibilities in each other. It doesn't mean you have to be always on, but you should be fully productive, supported and inter-connected at all times. This calls for a high degree of trust, flexibility and openness on both sides. Without that mutuality, remote working is destined for failure.
