Technology for Remote & Office
Work from Home
Everyone needs to be equipped to be successful wherever they are. If your company plans to allow
for remote work, then employees need to be set up for remote success. Start by creating a list of
home office needs, like a monitor, noise canceling headphones, internet connection, etc. If it feels like
there is too much to provide, consider creating a stipend for employees to use to cover internet costs,
cellular plans, etc.
Work from Anywhere
Then, think about the needs of the organization. To enable employees to easily work from anywhere, you
need to have your company set up on a VPN, with cloud filing and storage, and offer video conferencing
and communication tools. It's all about making in-office and remote work interchangeable.
The Touchless Office
Finally, think about what technology your physical office space needs. Creating a touchless office
experience will make employees feel cleaner and safer. Some companies are using smart building
technology that turns lights on when a room is entered and unlocks doors when a badge is swiped.
Workplace Booking & Management
With the right workplace management software, digital signage can be placed around the office for
way-finding and room availability, and QR Codes can enable employees to claim space right from their
phones. Plus, the software can help you limit office capacity, be set up to keep workspaces open for a
certain amount of time after each use to ensure it is properly cleaned and sanitized before the next res-
ervation, and track the use of space for your cleaning service or for contact tracing when necessary.
