Working from Home Successfully

Overview

Working from home has become commonplace and this has thrown up new challenges for those more used to working in an office environment. There are several challenges that we face to ensure working from home is as effective and safe as office based work. This is important for hybrid workers and those who work from home more permanently.

Some of the key things to consider for those working from home are – personal wellbeing, health & safety, ergonomics, workspace setup, information security, teamworking, online meetings and finally, the social aspect of working at home.
