Remote Working

With all the recent snow and with more forecast for this week, many busineses may want to consider altering their disaster recovery plans. This article consider some of the things to consider when setting up a home office.

 

If you intend to work from home it is important that you create a space in which you can work, where the resources you need are readily to hand and where you are not subject to distractions.

This will normally lead to you setting up a room in the house as a home office; perhaps a spare bedroom or an attic conversion. If you do not have the luxury of a spare room, you will need to create space some other way. You will also need to decide whether you are going to:

·         Commandeer space - for example, a dining room or a corner of the sitting room; or

·         Create a portable office that allows you to take advantage of rooms that are free when  

               you need one.
 

Make sure you discuss your plans with family, housemates and everyone you live with. Working at home can be disruptive and can make life more difficult for others. In particular, we suggest you discuss your needs for privacy and separation right up front before making any firm decisions.
