Work from Home: A COMMON Guide to Success

macbook-926425_1920.jpgWorld events have compelled us to say goodbye to the daily commute and participate in a massive work from home experiment.  Many of us are privileged to have jobs that allow remote work.  It can be a challenging transition, however, especially if you have distractions in the home, are struggling to connect to your remote systems, or simply have never telecommuted before.  You may be feeling isolated and disconnected from your team and are looking for ideas on how to best adapt to these new realities and stay involved and connected.

Work from Home: A COMMON Guide to Success will address the challenges to working effectively and efficiently from home.  The series consists of panel discussions taking place every Wednesday from 12 - 1pm CT, starting April 8.  Our panelists are recognized experts in this community, with in-depth experience working from home, and will share their tried and true expertise in these discussions.

In addition to the panel discussions, on Fridays, starting from April 17, we will offer presentations and discussion around issues specific to telecommuting in an IBM i shop.
