B1

Lavoro in autonomia su questo compito e vi aggiorno a fine giornata.

I am working independently on this task and will update you at end of day.

Pronunciation

'Autonomia' = aw-to-no-MEE-a. Five syllables; stress the fourth.

When to use it

Use this to inform your team that you are handling a task independently and will report progress at a specific time. It reduces unnecessary check-ins and signals professional self-management.

What it means

'Lavorare in autonomia' (to work independently) is the Italian expression for self-directed work. Committing to an update time ('vi aggiorno a fine giornata') reassures the team without requiring constant check-ins.

Variations

Procedo da solo/a e ti mando aggiornamenti.

I will proceed alone and send you updates.

More informal; 'da solo/a' is less formal than 'in autonomia'

Non ho bisogno di supporto su questo. Ci penso io.

I do not need support on this. I will handle it.

Confident and clear; use when you genuinely do not need collaboration

Gestisco questo task in modo indipendente.

I am managing this task independently.

More formal; 'task' is an English loanword widely used in Italian offices

Mini Dialogue

Responsabile: Come stai con il report? Tu: Bene. Lavoro in autonomia su questo compito e vi aggiorno a fine giornata con la prima bozza. Responsabile: Ottimo. Hai tutto quello che ti serve? Tu: Sì, ho accesso a tutti i dati. Non mi manca niente.

Manager: How are you getting on with the report? You: Well. I am working independently on this task and will update you at end of day with the first draft. Manager: Excellent. Do you have everything you need? You: Yes, I have access to all the data. I am not missing anything.

Cultural Note

Italian remote work culture has evolved to embrace asynchronous communication, but many Italian managers still prefer frequent touchpoints. Offering proactive updates — even when not asked — builds trust with Italian supervisors who are accustomed to physical visibility of their teams.
