Working Safely at Home – E-Learning Course

Working Safely at Home

Set up your work equipment effectively and manage IT security when working from home.

When people are required to work from home, the comforts that are provided in an office environment can often be overlooked. Employees that will have had a practical desk setup that ensures their physical wellbeing and is designed to suit effective ergonomics will need to carefully consider how they can best replicate this situation in their home, which will not usually be adapted for this purpose.

Another challenge that is faced by organisations and their employees when working from home is the need to ensure that they maintain the same standards of information security and to make sure data is protected. Working from home can create security weaknesses that are exploited by cybercriminals , so it’s important to be aware of this and to take mitigating measures.
