Are you working from home (WFH) or planning to work from home?

Here are Horner’s 10 tips for working at home, safely and productively!

• Set up a dedicated workspace at home. Always remember safety first! Set up your workspace ergonomically, with an appropriate five star office chair, well lit, and ensure there are no hazards (i.e. electrical cords neat and safe, no risk of trips). Preferably not on your bed, couch or kitchen bench!
• Plan out your day and try to keep to a schedule and routine.
• Dress smartly especially if you are having video conferencing meetings. No one wants to see you in your PJ’s or onesie!
  
•  Regularly connect with your supervisor and colleagues. If you are a Horner Casual then keep in touch with your Horner Consultant too.
• Utilise technology tools and apps to be more productive and keep connected.
• Ensure you have a short break and stretch every 2 hours.
•  Try to minimise noise and distractions as best you can from your new “colleagues” at home.
• Remember to drink water and maintain healthy habits! Try to avoid too many treats from the kitchen!
• Take time each day to go for a walk or do some exercise at home.
• Use your non-commute time to unwind, try a new hobby or spend time connecting with your family or friends.
