Letter # 6

Recently your employer offered some employees to do some work directly from home. Write a letter to your manger requesting the same arrangement. You should say

- Why do you want to work from home?

- Why would it be beneficial for the company and yourself?

- Suggest a suitable arrangement for you to work from home.

Respected Sir/Ma'am,

I work in the Human Resources division of your organisation. It had come to my light that a few employees were offered an arrangement where they could work from home. I am writing this letter to request you to allow me for the same as well.

I am making this request as now more than ever, this system is gaining popularity in many organisations and the reasons are obvious. Increased employee productivity and decreased turnover, business-continuity concerns, rising real estate and fuel costs are some examples. The concept of “results-only work environment” permitting employees to work from anywhere as long as they achieve their targets, is proving to be very successful.

For your kind reference I have attached a proposal with this letter, assessing my duties and tenure with the company, along with my performance feedback from various senior associates and colleagues. I believe I can be an even greater asset to the company if I am permitted to work periodically at home. 

I am happy to discuss this matter at a time that is convenient. I am willing to discuss possible alternatives to the arrangements I have outlined and I am also willing to work with you to make sure that this arrangement works effectively for both the business and me.

Yours respectfully,

XYZ.
