In an effort to establish an improved work-from-home setup,
respondents indicated purchasing chairs (36%), desks (33.3%),
keyboards (25.8%) and headsets (25.3%) to make remote work more
enjoyable. Remote workers also reported that chairs (22.8%), desks
(21.7%) and computers (16.2%) were the top work-from-home products
that helped boost their productivity.
“Many people are continuing to work remotely but have realized
they need to further optimize their home office,” said Stephen
Mohan, EVP, Business Solutions Division for Office Depot. “From
height adjustable desks to tech accessories to ergonomic seating,
Office Depot has a full suite of solutions to enhance any remote
workspace to help our customers accomplish more throughout their
workday in a healthier and more productive way.”
Among those surveyed, 60% indicated they received a stipend from
their employer for working from home. Out of those who received a
stipend, 84% reported using the money on work-from-home essentials
only, which suggests that remote employees appreciate help to get
their feet on the ground in their new setups.
With or without a stipend, 67% of remote workers acknowledged
they were still planning on making home office upgrades to get the
resources they need to be productive. To recreate their in-office
workspace, remote workers can consider outfitting their home office
with similar products that can help boost productivity,
including:
Ergonomic Furniture: Active workplace furniture
encourages healthier habits no matter where “the office” is
located. Ergonomic seating offers features, including adjustable
seat height, seat depth and lumbar support that provide all day
comfort. Remote workers looking to break up long periods of sitting
may want to consider a height-adjustable desk so they can alternate
to a standing position while continuing to work without
disruption.
Office Depot’s exclusive brands and exclusive products,
including WorkPro®, Realspace®, Serta®, and the new Shaquille
O’Neal™ Executive Office Seating collection, provide an array of
styles, fabrics and features suitable for any remote workspace.
Technology and Accessories: Long-term remote work may
require new tech, including laptops, monitors, keyboards,
multifunction printers and web cameras to help keep remote
employees plugged in and connected to their teams.
Leading technology brands including Lenovo, HP and Dell,
available at Office Depot, offer a wide selection of PCs that have
powerful processing features, faster operating systems and enhanced
security features, designed for professional use.
Technology Services: Pre-packaged and individual tech
solutions can help keep computers running fast and efficiently.
