Sound Advice for Working From Home
Working from home has recently been a reality for many of us, but working from home can be a difficult adjustment. One of the major changes we overlook is sound. We’re used to busy offices with people talking, making noise and then we’re sat at home, in the silence and it’s weird.
Here are some tips from us about how we’ve been using sound to make our home office environments less disruptive.
Working From Home (WFH)
Many people have never really contemplated working from home before. Many people don’t think it’s possible, or it will be painfully slow, or some vital tools won’t be available. Of course, for some that’s true but for many of us it’s entirely possible to work from home without any negative effect on our work.
The staff here at OMSUK have been routinely working from home on occasion for years and for the last week we’ve all been doing so full time. We don’t feel we’ve had any issues because we’ve planned well and put measures in place. We can help you do that too.

iPad Pro - Security
When I told the guys here at OMSUK that I’d ordered an iPad Pro to replace my work laptop they had some concerns, mostly around security. However it’s far less of an issue on iPad than a traditional computer.
The first great thing about all modern iPads is that they’re all encrypted. It’s not really an option, it’s just on when you setup a passcode, TouchID or FaceID and one less thing to remember to do when you get the device from new. This means that if it’s stolen then our confidential information (and yours) is safe.
