16 tips for an efficient and safe home workplace
Thousands of office spaces have gone home to employees. Remember to follow your company's IT security guidelines and give your home setup an overhaul for safety, health and efficiency. Here are some tips.
Equipment at home
1. Remember a good code on your wireless network if you use it.
2. Also remember to have a good code on your router or the equipment you received from your ISP.
3. Check that your internet connection has the capacity you need to work efficiently
4. If you are happy with your normal workspace, imitate it as much as possible with a monitor, keyboard, mouse or similar.
5. If you work on a laptop at home, an extra monitor can be good for productivity and healthy for your posture.
6. Get a good and comfortable headset so you have both hands free to work.
Connecting to the job
7. Use the systems or tools provided by your company.
8. Remember that security policies also apply when you work from home.
9. If your work computer is not automatically updated, remember to keep it updated yourself.
Don't forget to back up
There are so many ways to back up your data. The only thing you can do wrong is not to do it!
10. Companies should systematically backup critical information and important data.
11. The backup routine should be carried out with high frequency and it should be continuously checked that the restoration of the backup works as intended.
12. At the same time, the location of backup data should be considered. It makes sense to have offline backup, which is not vulnerable to the described threat.
Take care of your body
After a few weeks of working at the kitchen table, on the couch or on a chair in the basement, maybe it's time to give your home office an overhaul?
13. At the computer, you should preferably use an office chair that is adjustable in height and back.
14. The desk should be deep and wide enough to support your forearms.
15. Provide enough light, watch out for sun glare and avoid reflections in the screen.
16. take a break at regular intervals.
