Need a home office? ClickAway delivers

Make sure you know how to set up and use webcams or your computer’s camera. Video chat is a good stand-in for in-person meetings. Connect your blue tooth headset and microphone to the computer, or active the in-computer audio features. ClickAway can provide set up and instruction in your home office.

Power surges happen every day. Over time, they’ll grind your perfect home office setup to a halt. Stop them in their tracks with a good surge protector and UPS battery backup from ClickAway or elsewhere.

Employees connecting to the office through their home Wi-Fi need to ensure that they have a strong password. We also recommend you avoid using public or unsecured networks. Utilize a VPN, change your passwords into something stronger and turn on multi-factor authentication if you haven’t already. Be more mindful of online hygiene. That means being very careful of clicking on suspicious links, especially those related to coronavirus. Attackers are banking that fear will better prompt victims to click without thinking. Experts warn that domains related to coronavirus are 50% more likely to be malicious.

The first thing remote workers need is a good, fast internet connection which helps with remote collaboration, desktop sharing, online/video meetings, and robust cloud software use such as Adobe Creative Cloud. ClickAway can help check and find options for greater home internet speeds.

Build a permanent work space. We recommend natural lighting to increase comfort. Likewise, some of our workers prefer standing desks. Others are happy with an ergonomic chair.

Most companies have an IT department who can help you with your remote access, but they might not be able to come to your house. Ask for reimbursements to utilize ClickAway and keep track of all of your invoices.
