Workplace expert Ellen Galinsky joined us for a live web chat Wednesday to answer your questions about flexible work hours and other issues related to “workflex.”
Ellen Galinsky is founder of the Families and Work Institute -- a nonprofit workplace think tank.
Here’s one of Ellen’s answers to a question from the live chat. (See below for the full Q&A.)
Elliot asked:
“I work from home, mostly. I feel a little out of touch with the office culture. How do I remedy that?”
Ellen replied:
“Thanks for your question Elliot. There are ways to stay connected even when working from home. If you take time to call or schedule some time to work out of the office you can make the effort to chat with coworkers and stay in touch both personally and professionally. If you check out our new free guide on 'workflex' you can find plenty of ideas on how to make that work.”

Working from home is the most available option now to survive in this economic crisis. However, making money in the internet, as a work from home system, are exploited by many who are taking the opportunity of earning from those desperately resorting to the internet to earn a living. Sad... Thanks to Ellen who provides us a system that works as posted in this article.
Very short post so I thought I could add some more value. If you do work from home and are missing the office environment you should find out what you are actually missing?
are you missing the social involvement you had in the office?
If so maybe you should consider taking lunch out with your old colleagues or maybe a family member who is available also.
In my experience there is not much I miss about being in the office. I miss the people I worked with, however they could also be a headache on bad days. I like to be at home working but I do also miss social involvement I had at work.
I regularly go for a coffee with my old colleagues and also meet up on the weekend to ensure my sanity.
If you feel out of touch with the office culture maybe you should consider if this is a problem or not? will you be returning to the office culture?
If not is there anything wrong with feeling out of touch with it?
As you work from home you also don't work in a factory but you don't feel out of touch with the factory culture or any other type of work culture so maybe it will be better for you to forget it all together.
