The Next Big Thing: Home as the New Headquarters

Covid-19 has changed the way Americans work forever. In little less than a year, the amount of people working remotely has increased by over 50%. The sudden change in the work environment has yielded shocking results. Studies have shown that remote work has increased workplace productivity by 6%. These results have made companies accept the idea of remote-work post-covid-19, opening the doors to a world where the traditional office-workplace could become a thing of the past.

The rise of the Home-Office.

Up to 16% of companies are now exclusively hiring remote employees. A huge portion of that 16% is tech positions however other, mostly informal companies, have also hired more remote employees. That statistic is even more amazing when you consider that only 44% of companies in the U.S.A do not allow remote work at all. While this is incredible, the new infrastructure needed to allow this remote work to be possible can be hard to perfect. While it can be gruesome for company executives, it can be harder for the employees to adapt to working at home. An efficient home-office is ideal for handling tasks and streamlining your work. A multiple monitor workflow has gained more attention in recent times thanks to its compounding benefits. Studies have shown that employees with a multiple monitor setup have increased their productivity by 20-50%.

Why use a dual monitor setup and how to use it?

A dual monitor setup is best suited for teachers or those who work in an environment where multi-tasking is required. For example, having one screen with a Zoom meeting open for a classroom of kids and another with a grading rubric. The dual monitor can also help increase productivity in professions where customer service is crucial. The benefits of a dual monitor setup are vast but getting a proper, dual monitor setup working can be difficult.

Triple Monitor setup:

Sometimes dual monitors are not enough to handle the complexity some jobs might require, which is why some might choose a triple monitor setup. Studies have shown that a dual monitor setup increases productivity by 25.5% while a triple monitor setup increases productivity by 35.5%. A triple monitor setup is for those who want the utmost efficiency in their home office. While there is a plethora of pros to using a triple monitor setup over a dual monitor setup, however, unlike a dual monitor setup, a triple monitor setup is more difficult to get running. You will need a much higher-end computer and a sturdier graphics card GPU compared to a dual monitor setup. However, the benefits of a triple monitor setup highly outweigh the cons- even- with the increased stress it can cause for one's GPU. The steps of getting a functional triple monitor setup are equivalent to that of a dual monitor setup, regarding, getting the equivalent monitor, etc...
