Bluetooth Headsets Boost Homeworkers’ Productivity - and Professionalism

Technological change and a growing desire to achieve a sane work-life balance are key factors in the dramatic increase in the number of people working from home. According to the Government’s 2006 Labour Market Review, the number of teleworkers doubled between 2005 and 2007 and they now account for some 8% of the total workforce. No wonder then that many are looking at how they can work more effectively. They could find the answer off the top of their head - headsets - bluetooth or wireless.

Using Your Head Pays

An increasingly popular choice for the more savvy homeworker is a Bluetooth Headset which can be paired with several devices. The reasons are simple. Firstly using a headset leaves your hands free so you can multi-task (and avoid neck pain), be it sending an email or brewing up! The latest Bluetooth generation can connect to landline and mobile phones as well as PCs. And switching between devices is as easy as pressing a switch - well, a button!

The Mobile Office

Multi-device connections mean that the ‘office’ is not confined to home, but anywhere a worker chooses. It also means that low cost internet telephony (VoIP) can be easily exploited. Crucially, by supporting landline, mobile and IP telephony, Bluetooth headsets also allow teleworkers to make themselves more easily accessible and professional. For example, switching to a laptop PC connection in one of the growing number of wifi-hotspots allows someone to not just talk but access relevant work - possibly when they’re hundreds or thousands of miles away from home.

What’s more, the incorporation of sophisticated noise-cancelling technology also helps maintain professionalism, cutting out background noise so a call taken on a train can sound like its being conducted from the office.

So if you’re a homeworker why not use your head and be more productive, responsive and professional?
