Hello and happy Wednesday! We’re getting close to the New Year, and our office is having a work party this weekend. It’s always exciting to conclude the year and set new goals. What’s your biggest resolution for 2022?
Our first column this week is by Scott Tiner and discusses the idea of the unexplored home office sector. Though AV was deeply implemented into our home offices over the past two years, Scott says lighting, cameras, microphones and bandwidth have a long way to go in the future. As we move towards a future of cloud-based solutions, we’ll face issues with connection and even creativity. Learn where we have grown and in what areas we still need to improve in this blog.
Our second column this week looks at growing a home office into a “Work Haven,” creating a space that is not only conducive to work but creates a feeling of being in an office again. Mark Coxon says there are many collaborative opportunities we miss when we work from home, so how can we create a strategy to build a better home working space? To quote Mark, “Musicians build home recording studios, why wouldn’t executives build Work Havens?”
Our third and final column this week suggests Non-productive Time (NPT) as an incentive to employee performance, but are there consequences to this idea? Working from home can be relaxing and challenging for employees at the same time, and in this column, Lee Distad discusses the pros and cons of NPT as an incentivization tactic to improve success at work. Do you think NPT could work as an incentive during pandemic times when many jobs are not currently in person?
That should be it for this week, #Hometweeps. I hope you have a great rest of your week, and I’ll see you next time. Bye!
