Are you working remotely? Here are three tips to help you perfect your new workspace

I-T are two letters which can strike fear into the most hardy of souls at the best of times, let alone in this crisis. It’s incredibly important to make sure your technology is capable of functioning while at home, including your internet connection and the computer you’re using. It may also be worth researching apps you can use to help you complete your daily tasks, such as Scannable for PDF scanning, Zoom for group video calling and Slack for instant messaging between your team. There are a multitude of apps out there which may make every day processes far more bearable. Even though we’re physically isolated, technologies like these allow us to work collaboratively like never before.

This may be hard to believe, but anyone in the house while you’re working is considered a distraction. For the sake of surviving this period of isolation with the people you live with, it’s definitely advisable to establish boundaries. This could be anything from working in different parts of the house, to setting periods without talking. If anyone has to take calls, it might be a good idea to designate a separate room for this so the rest of the house doesn’t become distracted. This way, you can transform a space normally designated for eating or socialising into your productive work haven!

This is a learning period for everyone and transitioning from a physical office space to your kitchen table is never going to be easy. From what I have seen with my candidates and clients in the last week, the community spirit and enthusiasm for helping each other is alive and well. We’ll get through this together!
