If you’re not interested in returning to in-person work but your boss expects you to come back, or if you’re interviewing for a new job and want to work remotely, how can you negotiate your desired arrangement? How exactly should you ask for a work-from-anywhere arrangement when negotiating a job offer, or when you’ve been working virtually and don’t want to return in person to the office?
Here are five steps:
1) Demonstrate how it will benefit your employer.
2) Show the impact you can make.
3) Be prepared to take a pay cut if you’re relocating.
4) Use data to prove you can be successful working remotely.
5) Don’t expect a one-and-done conversation.
Here are also some tactics:
Whether you get the green light for permanent work-from-home or you and your boss agree to a trial period, get the exact agreement in writing. This way, everyone is clear that the arrangement can go forward, no matter who the manager is. And remember: While some flexibility is important while you negotiate, that flexibility should go both ways.
