Workers need to be visible

Remote workers can take steps to ensure they remain in contention for promotions.

Remote workers need to be proactive and make themselves as available and visible as possible.

• Workers should schedule more catchups with bosses, be clear about career goals, and draw attention to recent achievements.
• Little things like switching cameras on and participating in Zoom calls will go a long way. 
• Communicate frequently with your manager in a way that builds trust. For example, send your boss a quick message saying, 'here's what I did today. or 'what do you think about this?'
