Covid 19 and working from home

We at NPL Advisors would like to sympathise with everyone who has been impacted by the coronavirus. We hope that a vaccine will soon be available and normality will return. The pandemic has led to the government and many businesses taking measures such as requiring that numerous employers and employees work from home. This has initially led to some confusion especially for people who are not used to working from home.

There is constantly bad news in the media about coronavirus. However the good and positive news is that our developed and modern technology can play its saving role by keeping us all connected whilst working from home. There has been tremendous technological advancements in personal computers, tablets, mobile phones, television, radio and the internet.

During this time, we at NPL Advisors have been working from home. We have the necessary equipment needed to do this such as our laptops, tablets and mobile phones. We communicate regularly with co-workers and clients via emails, phone calls and texts. Then once a week, we hold a comprehensive directors meeting via a conference call.

Whilst working from home, you should take care of your health and safety. It is important to take regular breaks instead of sitting at a computer for a long time. After your working hours has been decided, you should do other things outside of these hours. Things like cooking, exercise, watching television and doing other things you enjoy.

Employees working from home and who have children to care for should agree a more flexible home working timetable with their employers. At NPL, we have established an excellent work from home routine. Each director and consultant knows their roles in the business and work together to assist our clients to achieve their goals. This we do despite of the coronavirus. If we venture outside, we wear our mask and observe social distancing. We hope that soon we will be free from the pandemic and all its restrictions. In the meantime, we at NPL Advisors wish you well and that you stay well.
