The March edition of Dealer Support’s magazine is now live and ready to read!
Despite the difficulties the world is currently facing, and has faced, we open the magazine with an air of optimism, in terms of COVID, as Phil Jones looks forward to the future now that COVID restrictions have ended in England. Phil discusses how Brother adapted and modernised their operations as a result of the pandemic, with the aim of creating a happier workforce. Not only did the pandemic result in some businesses modernising their operations, it also resulted in dealers needing to diversify their product ranges. We consider if this is something dealers should continue to do now as we enter a post-pandemic era and, if so, which sectors could be most profitable.
Now that COVID restrictions have ended many businesses are now heading back to the office, but mindsets have changed since the pandemic began and things that weren’t a priority for employees at the start of 2020 are now at the forefront of many people’s minds as they return to the office in 2022. One of these issues is hygiene; we explore how automating the restocking of hygiene products is likely to grow in popularity over the coming years.
Another change delivered by COVID is the switch from permanent office spaces to hot-desking. Activ Business Solutions tell us how they have created a solution for organising hot-desking in small-to-medium sized businesses. We also explore how this reconfiguring of the workplace offers an opportunity for dealers to become experts in advising businesses on how they can rethink their office spaces to promote productivity.
For those not returning to the office at the moment, or who are looking to work from home on a long-term basis, we discuss how dealers can help employers upgrade their employees’ home office technology to ensure they are as productive as possible.
