"Working from home has become routine for many of us, particularly since the coronavirus pandemic. There are perks aplenty: you do not have to commute or even change out of your pyjamas, you can attend to your family's needs - and the fridge is not far away. On the other hand, you are out of your superior's sight. Yes, they are not around to breathe down your neck, but you could be "out of mind" for promotions and raises."
"Not all employers have fixed rules on when and how often employees have to come to the office. Given the choice, employees often prefer to work from home. From a career perspective, this is not always advisable though, says Bastian Hughes, a career coach and host of a career advice podcast. So long as your job is not supposed to be entirely done remotely, he recommends showing up at the office regularly."
"Depending on your individual needs and any arrangements you have with your colleagues, he suggests that it be about once a week or even once a month. This allows you to make or deepen personal contacts, which can be advantageous for your career development."
Working from home has become routine for many people since the coronavirus pandemic, offering perks like no commute, flexible clothing, easier family care and quick access to the kitchen. Remote work can reduce managerial visibility, which can lead to being 'out of mind' for promotions and raises. Not all employers set strict office attendance rules, and many employees prefer home-based work. From a career perspective, maintaining some in-office presence is advisable when the role is not entirely remote. Attending the office roughly once a week or once a month helps build and deepen personal contacts that support career advancement.
