Questions
About the Remote Work Readiness Assessment
Can each team member take it?
Yes, and it's worth doing. Managers and team members often see habits like meetings and written updates differently.
Is this an audit or a certification?
No. It scores your own answers against a written rubric to show where you stand and what to do next. Use it to start a conversation, not as an audit, certification or professional advice.
