As work from home (WFH) rolls into another year, don’t forget to look at the phones your team use.
You don’t just have to default to them using their mobile. There’s a huge amount of choice available.
For example, you could easily let them access your business’s usual VoIP phone network from their home. So, people can still direct dial them on the same number.
There are huge benefits to this. Apart from helping them to compartmentalize work calls and personal calls, the sound quality of calls on VoIP can be significantly better than on a cell phone.
In terms of the equipment needed for this, that can be tailored to each person’s personal preferences. Some will want a traditional handset. That’s easily done. Others will prefer a headset. And some may just want the VoIP software on their laptop and not have a “proper” phone at all.
All these options (and more) are easy, and allow you to give each member of your team the setup that suits them.
