It has been more than six months since many of us have started working from home on a regular basis. For some employees, working from home has gone from a temporary solution to a way of life.

Last spring, we published some Work from Home Tips to help make the transition easier. Here’s a recap of those articles in case you need a refresher.

• Things To Know If You’re Working From Home: Change your password, make sure you have Imprivata ID installed and update your phone number so people can reach you.
• Know Which Tools To Use for Online Work: We have tools available for teleconferencing, chat, document collaboration and more. Make sure you know what's available and when to use it.
• Online Meetings and Webinars: Online etiquette, like etiquette in general, helps promote professional communication, respect and greater efficiency. Things like showing up early and using the mute button can help make the meeting more productive for everyone.
