Working from Home – is it your New Normal?

Posted on by eventcentre

Working from home is not stressful, right?

Imagine you could continue to work in your current job but without the rushed morning commutes, the traffic, the noise, the stress. How good would your life be?

If you could, for arguments sake, work remotely, in a private space specifically suited to the job in hand with no interruption. How would that feel?

But, right now, here you are. Without any of that.

The #WFH reality...

You've struggled through lockdown with computers on laps, kitchen tables, home schooling, Zoom calls with kids running around, organising dinner between calls. What went wrong? What happened the blissful romantic idea of working from home everyone talked about?

But, it doesn’t have to be this way:

There is a way you can start working from home without all the stress. Here at eventcentre.ie we have the answer for you.

We're in the same boat

We took the unprecedented step in April this year to close our offices and move our project management team to remote working, most are at home, some converted garden sheds or set up in the spare room. We realised that to remain a cohesive team we had to retain some common element of a structured work place. According to this RTE report there are "7 Problems you'll face when Working from Home" at eventcentre.ie we experienced them all and set out to solve them for ourselves.

Being the creative and innovative sorts that we are we invested a lot of time and effort in coming up with concepts, researching products and looking at possible solutions.

To stay remote working, we had a checklist of what we were looking for:

  • → a unique space that we could dedicate to working in, close the door and 'go home' at the end of the day
  • → ecologically aware and compatible with our lifestyles & business ethos
  • → durable construction that represented value for money

The discovery

The excitement when we found the perfect answer was unreal! We looked at a LOT of option. We read as much as we could find on the pitfalls & perils of working from home. We were reading scientific research on the benefits of remote working & statistical reports on the trends, wishes and desires for future work from home options.

The excitement continued when we realised that what we settled on (it ticked all the boxes and added some too!)  is known to be natures most efficient structure (as established by the Honeycomb Conjecture) as a hexagon.

We had found HYVE!!
