Your Fast-Start Solution to Working From Home

With the escalating situation across the globe due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses are scrambling to make sure their systems are robust enough to allow office-based employees to successfully work from home. But having employees work from home doesn’t have to be scary. Here we’ve put together a two-step approach to get you up and running from home for next to nothing.

1. Headsets

If you are working from home, the last thing you want is a wired headset. Or—worse—trying to use your mobile phone while typing on your laptop. You need to be mobile and hands-free. Take a look at some of our headset options right here.

2. Video Conferencing

Stay connected with your team-mates and join meetings virtually. Video Conferencing allows that essential face-to-face time with colleagues while everyone is working from home, plus it allows you to keep your business going by turning any external meetings into virtual ones. Yet video conferencing doesn’t have to be difficult to set up, nor cost money to enable. There already is a free, easy-to-use platform available right now, and you could be hosting a meeting in just a few clicks.
