Be transparent about your availability

Be transparent about your availability

- If you are a part of a large virtual team or you have coworkers that you work with, you want to make sure that you're transparent about your availability. If you're going to be away from your computer, you need to make sure your colleagues know that. You also want to make sure that your calendar is visible to your team, so that people aren't looking for you when you're not available. You also maybe want to adjust your email signature to your hours if you're going to have different hours. And this is especially important if you work with colleagues in different time zones or have international customers. It's very important that people know when they can reach you, so that you don't end up getting an angry email because someone thinks you're ignoring them.
