如何說服老板讓你在家上班

????漢森提出的第三個建議是，爭取拉攏更多的同事加入這項事業。“僅僅一兩個人嘗試遠程辦公，是注定要失敗的，因為這一兩個人將與團隊嚴重分離，”他說。“一個更好的辦法是，讓團隊成員在某些時候全部遠程辦公，讓每個人都有機會體驗這種工作方式，這樣就不會有人成為那個總是占據公司會議線路的‘離群索居者’。”他補充說，在一些公司，團隊或部門開始實行“周三在家工作”制度，這樣每個人每周至少可以有一個不受干擾的工作日。 ????最難反駁的觀點是，“如果我看不見你，我怎么知道你在工作呢？”漢森說。“這反映出一種根深蒂固的恐懼感——老板害怕失去他對公司的掌控力。反駁這種觀點，需要你放慢腳步，從小處著手——‘我周二在家工作，您瞧瞧，我已經出色地完成了這么多工作’——然后逐漸增加你遠程辦公的時間。” ????漢森說，在他供職的芝加哥協同軟件制造商37signals公司，大部分員工都采用遠程辦公的工作方式。“我們的最大問題不是在家工作的員工故意磨洋工，而是他們過于操勞了。他們的心智進入了一種流暢狀態，一刻不停歇地忘我工作。有時候，為了防止他們最終精疲力竭，你還必須保護自己的員工，堅決要求他們休息一段時間。”當然，除非親眼所見，你的老板或許不相信天底下還有這樣的事情。 ????期待你的反饋：你有沒有說服一位持懷疑態度的老板允許你遠程辦公？你是怎樣做的？請在本文下方留言。（財富中文網） ????譯者：葉寒 |
????And third, Hansson suggests enlisting more of your colleagues to the cause. "Trying out telecommuting with just one or two people is doomed to fail, because that one person, or two people, will become too isolated from the group," he says. "A better way is to have all the people on your team work remotely some of the time, so everyone gets a taste of it, and no one is the 'odd man out' who's always calling in on the conference line at meetings." At some companies, he adds, teams or departments start with "work-at-home Wednesdays," so everyone gets at least one distraction-free day per week. ????The hardest argument to counter is, "If I can't see you, how do I know you're working?" Says Hansson, "It reflects a deep-seated fear of losing control. Fighting that requires that you go slowly and start small -- 'I worked from home on Tuesday and look at all the great stuff I got done' -- and then gradually increase the amount of time you telecommute." ????Hansson says that at his company, Chicago-based collaboration software maker 37signals, where most of the staff works remotely, "the biggest problem we have had is not people goofing off while working at home, but people overworking. They get into a state of flow and just keep going. Sometimes, to keep them from eventually burning out, you have to protect employees from themselves and insist that they take some time off." But of course, your boss may have to see that to believe it. ????Talkback: Have you ever convinced a skeptical boss to allow telecommuting? How did you do it? Leave a comment below. |
