Working from Home, Supporting Homeworkers
Whilst businesses are trying hard to return to ‘normal’ we are mindful that many members of your team, as ours, will be following Government guidelines, and where possible, continuing to work from home.
Bluefish are here to support you and your colleagues by delivering Office Essentials to both business and home addresses. Lots of our customers are already taking advantage of this service and ensuring their teams have all they need to work safely and effectively wherever they may be, be it the supply of Paper, Books, Pads & Pens plus other general stationery to the growing demand to Inkjet Cartridges and Toners. We also have a huge range of Chairs and Desking suitable for office and home use.
Orders for some Inkjet Cartridges has exceeded manufacturing demand which is resulting in longer lead times than normal, so it is important to start planning for these requirements as early as possible.
As working from home becomes a longer team solution the risks associated with using display screen equipment (DSE) must be considered. Potentially, this includes doing home workstation assessments.
Whilst, there is no increased risk from those working at home temporarily, it is important to review your team’s needs
