The coronavirus crisis is forcing many employees to work from home. Yet working from home can be a win-win situation for both sides.
Working from home makes it possible to keep work processes going and thus ensure the company remains operational. But the “emergency solution” of working from home could also lead to new rules in your company for the future. Studies show that employee productivity in the home office can increase by up to 13 percent. To keep productivity and motivation high in the home office, the office should be set up in your own four walls in a structured but also comfortable way. With a few tricks and items such as lamps and
wall clocks, we’ll show you how this can be achieved.
A well-appointed workspace is worth its weight in gold not only for comfort, but also for health. A mouse, keyboard, a large screen and a comfortable office chair that promotes good posture make working from home easier and help prevent back problems in the long run, for example.
The right lighting in the home office
Proper lighting at the workplace is important to protect your eyes. They are already strained by the blue light from monitors and should not also be exposed to poor lighting while reading. We have selected two different table lamps for the right lighting at your workspace. The Leitmotiv LM1564 Hood table lamp is a gold-colored lamp that looks very much like a classic desk lamp. If you want something a little more modern, choose the Leitmotiv LM1827BK Lucid table lamp, for example.
Always keep track of the time
You should also always keep an eye on the time in the home office. It is important here, too, to stick to break times, remember appointments, and above all to finish work on time. As
office clocks, we recommend the Dugena
wall clock as a simple, easy-to-read wall clock. As well as the Karlsson KA5642ST as a table and wall clock.
Have all appointments at hand
To keep every appointment and every online meeting in sight, calendars, planners, and other small reminders such as Post-its help. But some people also like to collect ideas and gather them on a vision board. For this, pinboards such as those from Present Time are ideal. Thanks to the black grid, it also looks especially modern.
