The Hybrid Work Life

With so many people still bouncing between working in a corporate office and a remote office, having the proper tools for a hybrid work environment is paramount. According to an American Opportunity Survey, up to 58% of workers are working hybrid, with at least one day of the work week spent working from home. This means that there’s a rather large pool of consumers looking for solutions to improve their work environments, whether at home or in the office.  

To make sure you never miss a beat, you must plan in advance. Do you have the right workstation for you? What do you need from the corporate office in your home office? Is your home Wi-Fi going to accommodate your workload? How do you transport everything from one workplace to the other? What does returning to work look like for you? How can you stay within your budget and ensure efficiency? 

Many questions come to mind, but never fear. We have compiled a list of Hybrid Work Essentials to get you through transitioning from home to the office and back again. 

Furniture Essentials 

Whether working from home or in the office, there are a few furniture essentials you cannot forget. Where you work and what you sit or stand on can be the difference between a mediocre workday and a great workday. Improve your life one piece of furniture at a time.
