Here is my translation, but I miss the background, especially to exactly translate the first part of the sentence (When I'm away from the office).

When I'm away from the office I feel out of the loop, no matter how much I work.

Lorsque je ne suis pas à mon bureau, je me sens hors du coup, et ce, même si je travaille beaucoup.
(alternative trasnlation, closer to a literal one: Lorsque je ne suis pas à mon bureau, je me sens hors du coup, et ce, quelle que soit la masse de travail.

Out of the loop = hors du coup

(I don't understand your "On the road = in the office?" if it's for the meaning, on the road doesn't mean you're in the office, on the contrary)

Quand je ne travaille pas au bureau, je ne me sens plus dans le bain, meme si je travaille beaucoup.

The repetition of travaille is maybe too much, but you have to show that you are at your work, and not behind your desk only. Also hors du coup, or even dans le coup, would mean more to be in, to be trendy... Dans le bain would work better I think even if it is a little too familiar (?).
