Working Remotely? Schedule Regular Check-ins
When you’re in the office, people are effortlessly reminded of your existence and when you’re not, you must make an effort to get noticed.

You don’t need to say too much or talk too long in the check-ins. The real point is to get everybody in the office to know they’re going to see your face at a certain time on a certain day each week.
