Remote work offers significant advantages for both employees and businesses. Employees benefit from greater flexibility, better work-life balance, and reduced commuting time. At the same time, businesses can gain from increased productivity, cost savings, and access to a wider talent pool.
Not all organizations have embraced remote working for various reasons. If you want to put your case across to your employers that remote working should be the norm, then you’ll need to come up with some proof that it’s a win for the business.
One valid reason for organisations’ hesitancy to adopt remote working is the home Wi-Fi setup. Most of us are not network experts, so if you want to work from home for at least part of the work, you’ll need to gather proof that your remote work-from-home Wi-Fi setup is secure, has adequate Internet coverage, and is fast.
Key Takeaway
Secure and fast Wi-Fi connectivity is required for remote work approval. Proving your home network setup meets business requirements strengthens your case. As will be evidenced, there are cost savings and higher productivity for the organisation. Flexibility and persistence are key when proposing remote working.
Gathering Proof
Here are some clear steps you can follow to gather proof of your home network.
1. Check your internet speed
Use an online speed test tool (such as Speedtest.net) at different times of the day to measure your download and upload speeds. Capture screenshots or save the results to share with your employer.
