Normalize Work-From-Home Boundaries with Proactive Communication

Remote work can create an expectation that you’re available at all hours, leading to stress and boundary-blurring. By proactively communicating your boundaries and modeling a balanced approach, you can help normalize work-life balance for yourself and your colleagues. This strategy involves transparent discussions with your team or manager about respecting remote boundaries, reinforcing that availability should have limits even in flexible setups. Proactively setting expectations helps shift perceptions around remote work, fostering a respectful and balanced remote work culture.
