While we are still adjusting to the many challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak, millions of employees have already experienced the transition to remote working. This massive change has forced many businesses to evaluate how they can support employees who are working from home, including investing in suitable home office furniture and equipment to ensure long-term productivity is achieved.
The new normal
With what was first thought to be the Government’s short-term solution to minimising the country’s infection rates, the latest updates suggest working from home will be the reality for many employees for many months to come, and with many people not already equipped with a designated home office space and instead utilising coffee tables and breakfast bars, workplace consultants are predicting an increase in musculoskeletal conditions due to insufficient set-ups.
Solution
Here at COI, we have worked with several of our customers across the UK to provide a tailored solution to employees who work from home, ensuring the risks associated with using display screen equipment (DSE) are controlled.
We provide a ‘one-stop shop’ and have everything you need to furnish a home office effectively; we also have experience in providing bespoke and practical solutions to businesses that want to ensure the wellbeing of their team and minimise future health risks.
Our team provide free consultations and advise pre-approved product baskets for employees to select suitable office furniture for their home. We can produce a bespoke catalogue and/or an online shop facility tailored and personalised to your business and budgetary requirements, with easy purchase set-ups where employees can order their furniture at no cost to themselves, using unique order codes authorised by your management team.
We can also deliver directly to the doorstep of each of your employees’ homes, with furniture fully assembled ready for use, or alternatively, we can provide an in-the-home installation service pending full risk and health assessments, including the latest government guidelines to national and local lockdowns.
