Most of us have had a big shift in our work lives because of COVID, and that has even affected our everyday lives at home. We went from a dedicated space where our work was neatly organised around to the “comfort” of our own homes. It may have been great at first, but as time wore on a lot of us felt the strain catch up to us!
Though your office desk wasn’t your favourite place in the world, you still had a space dedicated to your work. Now, suddenly you are an uncomfortable surrounding that just doesn’t suit your work.Speaking to our friends at Jabra, they shared some of their findings about this new phenomena with us.
They shared with us that many people worldwide are faced with a wide range of distractions working from home, that they wouldn’t otherwise be subject to, that cause major dips in their productivity. This has been compounded by the lack of proper equipment, affecting their workflows.
Meetings have become a very different experience for people as well. While meetings are still held and attended, with the lack of physical presence, both conducting and participating in a meeting can be challenging due to the difficulty in sensing the tone and energy of its participants. Taking turns is no longer an obvious action to be executed. This is exasperated by a lack of visibility, audio quality and lag. Meetings, especially long ones, have been found to be an emotionally exhausting experience for most people.
Working from home is a large scale uncontrolled experiment that the whole world is undergoing. The right tools for collaboration and productivity has shown to be essential in maintaining our comfort, productivity, workflow and our sanity. If organisations want to keep up their productivity while protecting their employees from undue stress and frustration that would severely affect their productivity and performance, investment in the right tools is essential.
