Covid 19 Principles for Working Remotely
COVID-19 Principles for Working Remotely that the TEU (Tertiary Education Union) has shared:
You are not ‘working from home’, you are ‘at your home, during a crisis, trying to work’.
Your personal physical, mental, and emotional health is far more important than anything else right now.
You should not try to compensate for lost productivity by working longer hours.
You will be kind to yourself and not judge how you are coping based on how you see others coping.
You will be kind to others and not judge how they are coping based on how you are coping.
Your team’s success will not be measured the same way it was when things were normal.
Timely advice from the TEU. One thing I’ve been trying to keep in the front of my mind is that everyone is doing the best that they can. I can’t possibly know the challenges anyone else faces trying to do their job from home, what their setup is, how their mental health is coping, none of that. So thinking that everyone is trying their very best, just like I am, really helps me.
