YOUR HOME OFFICE
Teleworking affords the opportunity to create a workspace that is productive and personal
By Christine R. Gonzalez | Photography by Allison Potter
At-home work hit new highs in 2020 with many businesses reporting more than 50 percent of their
employees telecommuting during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even before that, the work-from-home movement had been slowly growing. The trend rapidly accel-erated
with lockdown orders in effect and nonessential workers encouraged to stay away. Now, some
people split time between their house and office. Others are working full time from home, and aim to
stay there.
Since you are the boss of your home office, why not fill it with things you love? That could be family
photos (discouraged at some workplaces), pineapple bookends, whimsical or fine art, or outdoor acces-sories.
Enjoy a peek at a few home offices and start making plans for your own telecommuting updates.
