However, there are other people who just can’t get to grips with the concept of working from home, and until the pandemic hit this wasn’t a problem.
As a result of the pandemic, more people than ever before are having to work from home to remain safe. Some of these people struggle to cope with working from home and find settling in.

To help you to do that below is a guide to some of the steps that you could consider taking to help your team members better adjust to working from home.
Discuss ideas for office setups
One of the main things that many people struggle with when it comes to working from home is finding the right way and space to work.
It’s not always easy concentrating from home, and for anyone who has never had to work from home before, it can be a real struggle at first.
What can help, however, is having the right office setup. To support your team members who are struggling with productivity at home, consider discussing some office setup ideas and tips to help make focusing easier.
Make communication as easy as possible
Often, one of the reasons that people struggle when it comes to working from home is because communicating with other team members and employers can be difficult and time-consuming.
Aim to mitigate this problem by making communication as easy as possible for your team.
This means taking the time to think about what tools you put in place for your team members to use, such as resources like Slack and Teams, for instance.
You might also want to consider starting a team Whatsapp group for fast and efficient responses.
Show them they’re valued
It’s also important to make sure that your team members know that they’re valued and that you care about them.
A lot of people feel neglected and alone when they are required to work remotely, but by treating them to a little something you can show them how valued they are and how much support they actually have.
Getting team members a Wellbox could be an option worth considering – as could anything self-care related.
If you know something that they like, such as loose leaf tea, for instance, you could treat them to a selection of loose leaf teas.
Think about what they like and pick something that you know they will appreciate.
There you have it, a few tips and suggestions for ways in which you can help your team to learn to love working remotely.
It might take time for your team to adjust, but with the right steps, you can make the adjustment a little easier.
