The truth is, working remotely definitely reduces worker visibility. As the adage goes, “out of sight, out of mind.” Despite that, you can still advance your career while working remotely. However, it will require some creativity and proactive effort to do so.
Start by volunteering to be included in major projects or cross-functional teams within the organization. This will help you stay connected and enhance your skills and experience while working remotely.
Be camera-ready. Turn on your camera when participating in virtual meetings. Managers oftentimes equate low visibility with low productivity in the physical workplace but taking these measures can prevent that stigma.
Demonstrate commitment to your own professional development by seeking opportunities to attend training, conferences and webinars to learn or refine a skill. Compile a list of skill development activities and get feedback from your manager as to which ones would benefit you the most.
