Work From Home Requirements

  • Ability to train in a remote environment (e.g., all your training is over the computer, this can be difficult for some, make sure you will feel comfortable with this type of environment)
  • Proactively manage issues that prevent your ability to maintain a productive work environment (e.g., network issues that prevent your ability to work)
  • Tolerance for working without daily human interaction but the ability to replace that interaction with communication channels provided by Afrimash team
  • A dedicated area to work from in your home and abide by specific criteria that will be required of you in that environment.
