In part one of Taking Your Job Home: Facing the Issues we covered concerns your employer would have if you asked him to let you work at home. There were five issues: Privacy and safety, Dealing with Co-workers, Communication, Job Function, and Trust. We ended by suggesting that you think over each of these issues carefully so you?re ready to address each one when your supervisor brings them up.

A good way to begin addressing these issues is to write them down. Then, put what you?ve written into a clear, concise ?blue print? for your manager so that she can follow along with you on how your plan on how a telecommuting work arrangement would succeed. (A written blue print is also important for supervisors who may agree with you but then need something to present to their superiors who might actually have the final say.)

Carefully cover each issue in your plan, even if you think your supervisor won?t be concerned about one or more of them. A blueprint always shows parts in the construction plan that aren?t necessarily relevant to what a builder is working on, just to keep things in perspective. Remember: The Company is what employers are most concerned about, even if they genuinely do care about their employees. The bottom line is always their bottom line.
