Part-time work and workfrom-home policies are fast gaining acceptance in
the corporate world. While some organisations are adopting them to help
employees achieve work-life balance, others are considering them as
measures to beat traffic woes, pollution and stress. ET's Prachi Verma
Dadhwal share's experts' views on how to work part time efficiently.
1 Prioritise
Before opting for a part-time work model, one needs to set priorities in an
order that is both aligned to the organisation's interest and yours. Your
organisation should be aware of your decision to work part time, the
arrangement for part-time work and its duration. “It is imperative that both
you and your organisation have your expectations from each other clearly
chalked out,“ says Swapnil Kamat, founder & CEO of Work Better Training.
Harsh Lambah, country manager of Regus India, says it is best to enlist the
support of another work partner, if necessary.

2 Be Disciplined to Deliver
Unless you are disciplined, the part-time or work-from-home will NOT work for
you. While working, be sure you only do one thing at a time.Else, this would mess
up your work as well as personal commitments.“Using a disciplined work style will
allow you to complete your assignment in a focused and timely manner. It's tough
while working parttime, and those who are disciplined can deliver on a regular
basis,“ says Lambah. Kamat says, “The line between your work and personal hours
should not blur and eat into the other regularly.“
3 Workspace at Home
You must have space at home that helps you divide home from work. This
workspace at home should be close to what you have at office. This space at home
should be devoid of any distractions, like music and television. “Given that most
Indian homes don't have that luxury of space, it makes more sense to opt for a
business centre or co-working space. It will reduce distractions that you'll have to
deal with at home,“ says Lambah.

4 Do not Compromise on Work
“Remember when you work part time, it is only your physical presence from your
workplace that has changed and gone down in terms of number of hours,“ says
Kamat. The amount of work you are expected to do remains the same.
5 Make the Best of Technology
While working part time, technology like smartphone, video conferencing and
emails should be exploited well. One can work from anywhere and anytime and yet
be connected to his office and peer group. “Smartphone apps and other mobile
devices are best while working on the move and navigating a hectic work
schedule,“ says Lambah. “Silence the critics by showing them that irrespective of
where you work from, and how many hours you clock in during the week, your
work does not suffer and your productivity remains good,“ says Kamat.
