With ongoing uncertainty in the workplace more and more people are choosing or being advised to work remotely. Employers have a duty of care to all employees and must ensure that their home working environment complies with all the same Health & Safety Regulations as office based employees.
Remote work is here to stay. Is your business ready?
Over 60% of Irish employers are looking at ways to make remote working a permanent option for their employees.
What key criteria do you need to consider to ensure a productive and comfortable environment for your employees?
The health and well-being of our employees and customers has always been a priority for Digicom. In these unprecedented times of global pandemic we are committed more than ever to actively care for our families, staff, customers and all we come in contact with.
Social distancing has been in place for a couple of weeks and we are grateful that the nature of our business allows most of our employees to work from home. Digicom is open and ready to assist other businesses in setting up digital systems that will help them remain in business while connecting with a remote workforce in these difficult economic times.
The current outbreak will pass. Sadly it will have an economic impact and people will lose their lives, prematurely. In an ever conscious world of populated clusters and global warming, we will remain challenged with changing our social and work habits, in order to give back to mother nature, what is hers.
Our professional contribution can only be to reduce carbon emissions and protect the human race. The Victorian concept of going to a central location in order to work will have to reduce drastically. Undoubtedly meeting face to face is the best way of networking. But familiarity should breathe the use of collaborative technology over the lifetime of that business relationship, rather than the constant need to travel.
We are very proud of our team who designed built and are now supporting a 52 screen video wall at The Motorway Traffic Control Centre, which monitors and manages more than 65 million vehicle journeys a year at its new state of the art workspace near the Port Tunnel in Dublin.
There has been a phenomenal amount of works undertaken which is a credit to the Digicom team.

A study commissioned by Poly has found that three quarters of office workers are regularly distracted at their personal workplace, with 36% of workers saying noise cases a loss of an hour of work every day.
The study from Future Workplace polled 5,000 office workers and highlighted the biggest distractions in the office space, citing the biggest distraction as loud talkers on the phone, spontaneous group meetings nearby and celebrations in the open office space.
Managed Print Services (MPS) is an ever-accelerating trend in the document solutions industry and for good reason. Managed Print Services looks at per-page cost as the “bottom line” in contrast to the final price point of office equipment. The key is that all costs associated with leasing/owning and using printing and imaging equipment, including maintenance and ongoing support are taken into account. If you are a business owner, you need to know what MPS is and how it can save you money. But what should you be looking for?
Working environments are constantly evolving. To be ahead of the game businesses need to incorporate a variety of digital and technology solutions. Creating an engaged and motivated workplace is not just about technology. More than ever having a high performance company culture, shared values and a brand that resonates with employees and customers alike remain the pillars of success. How can an organisation build an effective company culture while implementing new collaboration tools and processes as part of its digital transformation journey?
Today’s open office spaces have resulted in an explosion of smaller meeting spaces, or “huddle rooms”. But of an estimated 32 million huddle rooms globally, only two percent of those spaces include equipment for video conferencing, which is becoming increasingly important for the mobile workforce. And, while the rooms may be small, the ideas that businesses are counting on coming out of those rooms are anything but. Polycom Studio’s HD audio and video clarity brings boardroom capability to even the smallest of spaces.
