NOTE: As the VP of Learning at Udemy, I originally made this course for my internal colleagues. However, given that many companies are implementing Work From Home (WFH) policies in the wake of COVID-19, I thought it would be useful to share with a wider audience. While you may hear references that are internal to Udemy, I hope you find some useful tips to use as you work from home!

Do you find yourself losing productivity when you work remotely? Do you have trouble maintaining a normal workday with all the distractions of your home? 

If so, you’re not alone. Many employees find that they are not set up for success when they work from home. Working remotely is not simply working from a new location. You can’t just take your laptop home and expect to work in exactly the same way as you normally do. There are many differences between an office that’s built for work and a home that’s typically not set up for working productively.

I had to work from home for 3 years while employed at a small startup. It was my first time doing so, and I had to quickly learn and adapt my living space so I could successfully complete my job. Over those years, I collected many tips and tricks for how to best work remotely. These are simple things that you can implement right now that will make a big difference when you work from home!

In this course, I’ll cover:

  • Ways to communicate to stay accountable (and social!) with your colleagues

  • Best practices for running meetings virtually

  • Suggestions for accountability and productivity when working from home

  • Ideas for structuring and planning your day and workspace for optimal results

  • Quick tips for managers leading teams in a remote world

If you want a QUICK & EASY primer on working remotely, please join me in this course!

How long do I have access to the course materials?
You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
