SCS Home Office Vol. 2

While our company continues to work from home during this difficult time, most of us have settled into creating our own little office working space within our living space (see our first home office blog post). Although working from home does have it own challenges, the main one being distractions! From home pets to family, many of our team members have settled and created their own workspace to help them keep focused during this time.

So what do some of these home work-spaces look like? We asked more of our team to send in photos of their home setups to share with you our community (just don't judge too hard!) Do you have a favorite? Plus, those with a sharp eyesight might spot a teaser of something our map designers are working on which has not been announced yet.

We'd like to remind you the importance of social distancing and staying at home if it's possible. The world around us is going through a difficult time and all of us should do our part to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. We understand that the longer we need to stay home the harder it can become, but please if you can, stay home and isolated from others. Stay safe, stay healthy, #PlayApartTogether and remain the #BestCommunityEver!

SCS Home Office Update

About 3 weeks ago, our teams left our main offices in Prague to begin working from home. At that time, there was a lot of uncertainty about how our teams would adapt to working in such a different way, as this had never been done before on such a large scale in the history of SCS Software.

As you can imagine, there were a lot of challenges and questions presented at the start of this move, however, after a few weeks, a majority of our team have made themselves at home (quite literally!) and settled into the new workflow and style of working. We asked members of our team to send in photos of their work at home setups to share with our community. Do you have a favorite?

While a lot of us may enjoy working from home because of the perks that come with it (such as no time spent commuting) it is important to remember the reason why we are. We are doing our part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and you can take preventive measures to do the same also.

Following advice from local health services and the World Health Organization, staying at home saves lives and is a key part of preventing the spread of this virus. It is recommended you only travel if you are a key-worker, or if you are going out for essential items such as groceries and medicine. If you do meet with someone, make sure to practice social distancing by standing 1 meter apart. It is also important to remember to wash your hands with soap for a minimum of 20 seconds, especially if you have been outside.

We understand that during this time, not everyone may have the luxury of working from home. So we want to show our appreciation and thanks to all the drivers, hospital staff, public transport employees, emergency services, government workers, carers, supermarket staff and more who continue to work, and keep the world moving during this difficult time. You really are all everyday heroes.

And those who can, please, stay safe and #TruckAtHome!
