Work from anywhere policy 1.0
In Abtion, you can work from anywhere. It’s freedom with responsibility, and this is what is expected of you:
Put Abtion’s interests first
- Put Abtion’s interest first when deciding on working remotely. We trust you with your judgment. Some meetings are better when the whole team is in the same location.
- If you plan to go abroad or work remotely for a more extended period, you must always clear it with your manager in advance. You also need to make sure that your team members know and approve your plan.
- When working remotely, you must let your team and other relevant colleagues know when you stop for the day 10 minutes in advance so they can catch you for a talk if they need to. Keep our working hours sacred. Start your working day between 07:30 and 09:00 am, and finish between 3:30 and 5:00 pm UTC+01:00 (depending on when you started).
- Don’t travel (unless it is work-related) and run personal errands during working hours. Exceptions are doctor visits, examinations, and treatments where it is impossible to get an appointment outside working hours.
- Make sure that it is without negative consequences for our ability to appear dependable and professional in the eyes of our clients and other external partners that you work remote.
- If you plan to go abroad or work remotely for a more extended period, you must always clear it with your manager in advance. You also need to make sure that your team members know and approve your plan.
Be aware of your environments and pracitical challenges
- Make sure that your remote workplace is comfortable and distraction-free
- Make sure your internet connection is stable and fast enough to run a video meeting without interruptions.
- Make sure you can stay on the same site the entire working day, so you do not have to move to a new location in the middle of the day.
- Update your location in your google calender so all team members can see wether you are working form one of our offices or elsewhere.
- Notify the officemanager to cancel lunch at the office
- Remember your charger(s), headphones, and whatever other equipment you need to perform your work tasks without loss of productivity.
- Make sure to come to the office and meet your colleagues as much as possible. Culture and friendships grow and thrive best when we meet physically.
