Working from home

2020 has probably been the strangest year for most of us as – businesses closing, furloughs and working from home have all been part of the ride as we try to adapt to a new normal.

Here are some top tips from our team on working from home and being productive in 2021:

Ben said:

  • Set your self objectives on what you want to achieve that day

  • Keep some light music on

Simon Acres said:

  • Make sure you take the time to test your connectivity
  • Spend time learning basic video tools like zoom etc.
  • Have a backup device in case your Wi-Fi fails you

Aiden said:

  • Find things to keep young children entertained if they are not at school
  • Ensure you have activities for them to do in the garden so they also get some air
  • Communicate with anyone else in your house when you have important calls

Henesh said:

  • Set up an area that you can shut down at the end of a day. Working with a laptop on your sofa doesn’t give you separation
  • Make sure you are comfortable
  • Be appreciative of others that are working from home they may not have the same facilities as you

Working from home will now become ever more popular. The important thing is to stay focused and know you have a team of people around you to help. Your colleagues are only a phone call away.

At KBB recruitment we have had to change the way we work as there is still a lot of KBB jobs coming onto the market. We have had to help employers understand the power of tools such as Teams and Zoom. Our KBB specific job board had to become easy to upload your CV’s and Jobs so If you are a recruiter contact our expert team on 01933 448877 or if you are a job seeker view our KBB jobs and apply directly from the website.
