Overview
Working at home gives you the opportunity to control a large part of your day-to-day environment. You can add to your personal comfort and generally improve the quality of your life in ways unavailable to those working from the corporate office.
Ideally, working at home will give you an opportunity to improve your job performance, while, at the same time, ‘buying back’ some quality time in your personal life.
This course will enable you to gain maximum advantage by understanding productivity inhibitors and how to manage them. It will also help you to best meet your preferred work style for business and personal needs.

- identify the advantages, demands and drawbacks of home-working.

- plan ‘your day, your way’, without supervision.
