How to help your team work from home during COVID-19

Almost overnight companies from the smallest to largest had to quickly adjust to allow their people to work from home. It threw up a whole lot of challenges, particularly for organisations that hadn’t previously provided this option.

By necessity, the initial steps focused on the practical aspects, like computer hardware and remote access to servers and so on. But now that that has been sorted, business owners now need to think about the wellbeing of their remote workers. While perhaps not as obvious, this is just as important.

At Icon Visual Marketing we already offered working from home options to a lot of our people, but we quickly adapted to the COVID-19 situation and made working from home available to everyone. For us, the only exception has been our warehouse and print/production team - because they can’t do their job from home.
