Looking for New Direction? – The recent lockdown has given many of us time to re-evaluate many aspects of our lives including our job status. Many have resorted to working from home, others furloughed or perhaps come to the end of the line with your existing profession.
Whether you are searching for a new direction or looking for a complete change there are a number of facilities online to turn to.

Working from home has many benefits and post-pandemic probably more so than ever before, here are a few suggestions as to why working from home could be for you:
Minimal one to one contact with other people, therefore, less exposure to illness.
Employees could be more productive and focused when not in the office, as there are no office distractions. Working from home usually leads to fewer interruptions, fewer office politics, a quieter noise level, and more efficient meetings, allowing you to focus on what really matters.
You have a flexible schedule offering you a better work-life balance.
Less commuting – Let’s face it, commuting back and forth to work can be stressful and time-consuming. By eliminating this process, you can help support your mental and physical health as well as giving yourself additional time in the day to focus on priorities outside of work. There is also a positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through less travel.
People who work from home can save money. Fuel, car maintenance, transportation, parking fees, a professional wardrobe, lunches bought out, and more can all be reduced or eliminated from your spending entirely. These savings add up and consequently, put more money back into your pocket.
Customise your workspace – a comfortable home office is an excellent benefit of remote work. If you have health issues that lead to needing specialised office equipment, or you are particularly partial to a certain type of sitting arrangement, or your preference is to have the window open whilst working, you have options to set up your workspace as you desire.
We will all have our own unique experience with remote working and finding what does and doesn’t work for us is all part of the experience. The opportunity awaits for those who wish to try.
