Complete Solutions Help Keep Businesses Running
Smoothly While Employees Return to the Workplace or Continue
Working Remotely
Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ:ODP), a leading provider of business
services and supplies, products and technology solutions through an
integrated B2B distribution platform, has a wide portfolio of
offerings that can help small, medium and enterprise businesses as
they return to work, or extend work-from-home programs.
“Organizations across the country are navigating return to work
planning and are facing many challenges reopening for both their
employees and customers,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer
for Office Depot, Inc. “As an integrated B2B distribution platform,
we have complete solutions that are perfectly geared to help our
business customers address distributed workforces, social
distancing measures and enhanced cleaning practices that will
remain for the foreseeable future.”
Office Depot and CompuCom are uniquely positioned to help
address some of the difficulties companies and business owners are
experiencing as they contemplate the reopening of physical
workspaces and continue to manage remote employees. Each
organization has existing solutions and is developing new offerings
to address new hybrid working scenarios.
Return to Work Planning
To create a successful “return to work” plan, organizations are
prioritizing the health and safety of employees as they continue to
serve the needs of their customers. Office Depot’s Business
Solutions Division (BSD) can assist by utilizing its data-driven
approach centered around health and wellness, productivity and cost
savings.
“We know that there is not a one-size fits all solution to
address the new normal, which is why we are working closely to
address our business customers’ concerns to help foster a culture
infused with high levels of engagement and productivity no matter
where their employees are working,” said Stephen Mohan, executive
vice president of Business Solutions Division for Office Depot,
Inc.
As part of BSD’s existing services, business customers can
request a complimentary facility assessment with one of their
account representatives. The findings from the assessment may
identify ideas to help create a healthier and more hygienic
workplace as well as other opportunities, including ways to improve
their office configuration.
Additionally, Office Depot is ramping up its inventory levels
and expanding its personal protective equipment (PPE) assortment to
include new suppliers for masks, thermometers, face shields, gloves
and more, making them more widely available to business customers.
The company is also accelerating its evaluation of new products
like air purification and electrostatic fogging devices that are
designed to help sanitize the workplace, as well as entry control
devices with thermal scanners.
Distributed Workforce Planning
While organizations responded quickly to the pandemic by
implementing a temporary remote workforce, many are now considering
a permanent distributed workforce. According to a recent Conference
Board study of human capital executives, 77% of respondents expect
that the number of employees working primarily from home will
increase post pandemic.
“Remote work didn’t start with the pandemic, but the crisis
drove adoption at an unprecedented scale,” said Mick Slattery,
president of CompuCom. “The ‘future of work’ is no longer somewhere
over the horizon, it’s here now, and CompuCom is uniquely
positioned to deliver the connected workspace technologies and
services businesses need to support a permanent distributed
workforce.”
To transition from a temporary remote workforce to a permanent
distributed workforce, organizations can partner with CompuCom to
implement digital workplace solutions that help workers contribute
seamlessly from anywhere, anytime while still helping to keep
critical data and business processes safe.
Reopening Small Businesses
Office Depot and OfficeMax stores, as well as officedepot.com,
offer a wide assortment of PPE, cleaning supplies, business
essentials and customized print services to help small businesses
prepare the workplace and help spread the word that they are open
for business.
Additionally, small business customers can save time with
convenient and fast delivery options including same-day delivery on
qualifying orders, free in-store and curbside pickup, and free next
business-day delivery on qualifying orders of $60 or more.
“Small businesses need help more than ever to recover from the
pandemic’s impact to their business,” said Kevin Moffitt, executive
vice president and chief retail officer for Office Depot, Inc. “Our
dedicated retail associates are ready to assist our customers with
services and products to help them get back to business.”
