The Benefits of Working from Home are on Full Display—Is Your Enterprise Company Ready?
In a world of extreme uncertainty, one thing has become clear for many employers and employees alike: working from home is actually pretty great! Sure, it comes with some challenges, but for the most part, studies—and now a huge global experiment—show that working from home affords a multitude of benefits.
For employers, those benefits include happier employees, but also an expanded recruiting pool, allowing organizations to cast a wider net in search of ideal candidates. Additionally, working from home obviously significantly reduces company overhead.
At home, employees tend to be more creative, productive, and enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing. There’s also the plus of flexible hours, allowing your workforce to maximize productivity when it is most convenient. Families with special needs also enjoy increased flexibility, and with less exposure to large groups of people, sick leave decreases. And of course, there’s the bonus of being able to squeeze in a workout during your lunch hour.
However, it is worth noting that working from home does present challenges for enterprise-level entities. From an IT standpoint, security is an issue, and your IT department might be plagued with support headaches. This is where Trinitas can come in and make everyone’s life much easier—and working from home a more permanent solution for those who find it to be a valuable life solution.

Are you overseeing productivity within your company?
Having a hard time benchmarking where teams are and where they should be?
You might want to revisit your goals first.
Setting clear, measurable objectives is paramount to productivity and where it’s occurring, whether in-office or remotely.
In its recent article, 3 Drivers to Broaden View of Productivity: Well-being, Collaboration, Innovation,
“The only measure of productivity that matters is how well someone is doing at meeting their goals.
Assuming those goals are properly set, align with the organization’s overall mission, and are measurable, where and when someone works shouldn’t’ matter.”
Quite possibly, workplaces might need to be rethought to improve culture and productivity.
There are many factors to consider within workplaces. We will key in on three for this article: well-being, collaboration, and innovation.
Jaime Teevan is chief scientist at Microsoft. Along with researchers from across Microsoft, Teevan completed 50 research studies
throughout multiple divisions and departments, from engineering to facilities, in what the team considered in January 2021
to be, the largest compilation of research related to the pandemic’s impact on work practices available to date. It was coined The New Future of Work Report. Since then, more studies have been conducted and results published as the pandemic
has continues to challenge business operations in unprecedented ways.
Teevan’s research digs deep to “examine employees’ well-being, social connections, and collaboration and the innovation they bring to drive business success.”
By conducting this research, Teevan hopes managers can broaden their views on productivity.
She continues, “You measure performance the same as if the people were in the office. You don’t really know what they’re doing sitting at their desks.”
Trinitas supports its clients’ wireless teams’ work cultures and has years of success improving them through our commitment to clients.
Through Teevan’s lens, Trinitas supports her three pillars of performance.
Well-being – Although well-being is comprised of many different factors, a few areas we focus on are:
Creating more free time during the workday
Simplifying processes that are easier to use and follow
Providing customer support that is friendly and quickly solves our clients’ issues
Recently we learned a client’s IT team was spending too much time supporting its employee needs. Together with the client we decided to look at some
lighter spend areas to determine if there were ways to save their IT time supporting those areas.
The goal was to shore up those processes that would then free up their IT teams time to devote to the bigger projects.
Trinitas found the team was spending an enormous time supporting their Wireless Device Accessory program.
To solve for this, Trinitas implemented:
A company-specific online catalogue that had their device-specific products
Managerial approval
Custom and comprehensive monthly billing solutions that saved their AP significant processing times
Additionally, Trinitas became an extension of the client’s IT team and managed the accessory program for them. With the significant savings, they were
able to take on another IT employee to help with their daily functions. We continued to look at other lower spend services with similarly positive outcomes.
Collaboration – Trinitas values the importance of collaborating with its clients. Together we can uncover areas for new revenue, determine how to improve processes,
and expand employee productivity. Recently, a healthcare company that had 10,000 wireless devices wanted to find a way to cut costs.
Through our collaboration, we uncovered the company was significantly overpaying for warranty rand replacement costs for their devices. View the case study here to learn more.
Innovation – COVID-19 Has permanently changed our workplaces and enterprise companies must adapt their telecommunications if they want to keep you.
With the shift to both office and work-from-home employees, Trinitas created its Enterprise Anywhere suite of services that can be customized to fit your enterprise company business.

Day-to-day life carried a certain amount of redundancy before the pandemic. Now, one year into COVID life and working from home, the daily grind can feel, well, grinding. At Trinitas, we believe in the importance of infusing fun into each workday, mixing things up and treating yourself to small breaks, schedule shake-ups, a de-clutter session or window bird watching. Here are a few of our favorite ways to fun things up!
1. Set a 20-minute Rule
It’s easy to get sucked into the desk. Hours might go by before you realize you haven’t even looked up from your screen. But movement throughout the day is a great way to increase circulation and creativity. Make a point to set a timer on your phone or computer, reminding you to get up and move, dance, walk or stretch every 20 minutes. Set up the printer in a different room, so you have to get up from your desk and walk to get documents. And make sure to get outside! Once every hour, walk to the end of the driveway, grab the mail or simply sit on the front steps and breath in some fresh air.
2. Refresh Your Surroundings
Our workstations or spaces can quickly become stagnant. The same post-it note from last March is still sitting next to the keyboard. Those family pictures are sweet, but pretty outdated. Make a point to shake up your surroundings with new photos, fresh art, a new stack of inspiring books or Buddha board.
3. Start a Window Bird Watching Log
Sitting on a boring Zoom call? Just need to take a break from the project for a few minutes? Look outside. Start learning your local birds, and keep track of which ones you see, and when, throughout the year. This is a great one to turn into a family project. Make a bird bingo board and get everyone involved!
4. De-clutter!
Don’t limit the desk purge to once or twice a year. Make this a monthly habit—throw away those papers you’ve been piling in the corner. Toss the pen that ran out of ink years ago. A clean slate can do wonders for productivity and mood!
5. Watch a TED Talk
TED, which stands from technology, education and design, showcases “ideas worth spreading” in short (18-minutes or less), powerful presentations by the world’s leading minds. Add one or two to your weekly routine for a fun, inspiring break from the daily grind.
While the past year has been grueling at times, it has also taught us to embrace the little things and the importance of small doses of creativity and inspiration. As we transition back to a more normal work environment, make sure to continue your favorite daily work habits—the ones that brighten things up, lift your mood and increase your productivity.

Technology conversion and updating projects are at the forefront of the minds of telecom, mobility and IT management professionals. They want to push for positive change in their organizations, whether it’s reducing technological risk from aging infrastructure or optimizing business results through customer engagement. In short, there are a variety of opportunities for growth.
Life cycle management during and after change events, such as the massive one we’re currently facing in the new COVID-19 landscape, frequently lack the same level of pre-planning attention and new technologies. Lack of life cycle planning effectively sets business risk landmines that can unravel the gains made with new technology.
Through this lens, let’s look at four influencing groups:
Technical – Technical teams design communication networks and systems that enable humans to communicate with electronics.
Financial – Financial teams evaluate and manage electronic and telecommunications costs.
Operational – Operations teams oversee and push forward business processes that support users and electronics/telecom.
Business – Business teams establish requirements and identify opportunities to leverage technology to drive optimal business results.
Across these four influence groups—Technical, Financial, Operational, and Business—it is common that only one or two will focus on life cycle management practices as opposed to incorporating life cycle management into each group equally. The result is a disjointed effort in which each group operates individually of the others.
At Trinitas, we guide companies in establishing a cohesive life cycle management approach across all four categories and highlighting the influence each group can have on the others. This creates a balanced approach with fewer life cycle gaps.
As the Telecom Manager of a large insurance company recently put it, “Trinitas has helped us gain insights into our life cycle management that we did not know. They helped us implement results-oriented strategies that have positively impacted our company.”
Trinitas can help you create the balanced approach to life cycle management, one that will drive greater efficiency, significantly lower costs and create positive results. It’s an incredibly important time to maximize your company’s technological capabilities, ensuring you are ahead of the curve, and not struggling to keep up with it.
