Refresh, Protect & Keep Going in 2021

We’ve got you covered in 2021!

Here are few simple tips to help you refresh your working environments, protect your colleagues and help you and your team keep going this year.

Wherever you and your team are working, stay refreshed by following these simple steps:

Create a welcoming work environment
Our physical workspace greatly impacts employee morale and relationships, so it’s important to consider it when formulising any new workplace plans. Refreshing workspaces could make a big difference to morale and there are many ways to do this.

For example, desktop accessories and stationery are a low cost but effective way to really revitalise a workspace. Exaclair, Rapesco and CEP have all brought out new ranges of germ savvy, colourful accessories to protect, brighten and tidy up any desktop. There are now many different styles and designs of stationery available that can be ordered in large or small quantities to suit every work location.

Whether you’re working from one or multiple locations, it’s important to take reasonable precautions to protect yourself and others from the spread of viruses. Ensuring you and your team have the necessary equipment and knowledge required to protect staff & visitors is important.

2021 welcomes new and innovative products that protect against the spread of viruses. For example, we now stock the latest Antimicrobial stickers that can be applied to high touch areas, such as buttons in lifts and door handles.

If you’re moving between different work locations make sure you have a good supply of the essential products, such as face coverings, hand sanitiser, gloves and visors.

If you or your team are working from home on a long-term basis, then there are a number of considerations that employers need to bear in mind. Speak to your line-manager about their homeworking policy.

Mobile work equipment, such as your laptop, headset and mobile phone, are all breeding grounds for germs and viruses. Use cleaning products that have been designed for electrical devises to avoid damaging equipment, and clean them on a regular basis. AF offer a range of cleaning products such as wipes and sprays that are specifically designed to clean devices.

As longer-term workplace strategies come into force this year, there is likely to be a permanent shift to working from anywhere, rather than only working from home or an office, for example. Regardless of location, there are fundamental products that will help you and your team keep going and functioning effectively.

Make sure the essential products such as pens, notepads, paper, printer ink, whiteboard pens, tea & coffee etc are well stocked.

Communicate to employees how they can order the basic products they need so that they can focus on their primary job and navigate through the year.

Government guidelines are likely to change throughout next year, so investing in the portable products that enable teams to work from anywhere will be vital to staying productive.
