Gear To Make Any Size Home Office Work For You
HP News, March 15th, 2023
Set your home office up for success, whether it's a cramped corner or an entire room.
Salome Coutinho, a client services and relationship manager at a large financial services organization in south Australia, switched to a hybrid work schedule last year. One of her first moves: rearranging and making a few additions to the small study she uses as a home office.
'I've added a working desk with a swivel chair, a fan that I can move around, and a little corner for documents that I need for work,' she says. 'I also adjusted the lighting and ensured I have the window to look out from.'
According to a 2022 Gallup poll, eight in 10 employees are already working hybrid schedules or are fully remote. Like Coutinho, many are recognizing that the makeshift workspace they cobbled together may have gotten the job done for the past couple years, but a long-term hybrid work schedule requires thinking beyond the dining table chair or lap desk in bed.
