5 TIPS FOR PERFECT COMMUNICATION FROM HOME.
Employees don’t just need the right tools to be able to work smoothly from home. Boost productivity with these tips.
1. CAMERA ON.
Audio conferences alone don’t cut it because there is no real human interaction.
2. SET THE STAGE.
Small adjustments make all the difference. Make sure you are lit from the front. The camera should be at eye level to avoid an unflattering view.
3. REMAIN SILENT DURING BREAKS IN CONVERSATION.
Use the mute feature. There are many distractions at home that can be distracting for your business partners. Of course, don’t forget to turn it off again!
4. TECHNOLOGY MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Most laptops audio features tend to only be enough for private use. Use a high-quality headset or a portable USB speakerphone instead.
5. STAY ACTIVE.
It’s important to stay active because when your heart and body are fit, you are more productive. The benefit of working from home is being able to fit in some exercises now and again.
