NEW EMPLOYEES

First, there are three keys to balancing a virtual work lifestyle: Discipline, Organization and Work priorities.  Additionally, set a serious goal of getting up, getting dressed, and getting into 'work' on time. Next, create a consistent schedule with clear start and end times. Then, every day, check your calendar first thing to review your schedule as meeting times can change often and new meetings will pop up.

Similarly, be prepared for your virtual meetings by arriving 3 minutes early. Keep your calendar up to date by watching for emails with meeting invites. Meeting invite emails are labeled with a tiny meeting icon which is a calendar with two people in front of it.  Accordingly, accept the meeting invites to let the meeting organizer know you will attend by clicking “Accept”. Additionally, some meetings will be optional, and others will be required. If a meeting is required, you do not have a choice about accepting the invite to the meeting.
