From zero to home office
Problems and Challenges
Your boss thinks that working at home is just drinking coffee and lying on the couch in pyjamas? Quite the contrary! In fact, a study by the US elite university Stanford shows that employees are significantly more productive at home. So what does that mean? That you have to switch from zero to home office! Because even though half of all jobs are done on the computer, only 12% of all Germans work from their home office. We accompany you with a master plan and our checklists through the new working world and show you how to set yourself up well for the competition at home.
