Kia ora koutou,

Now that we have been working from home for a week we are looking at how we might further support staff with equipment or connection issues.    The university is investigating the options to provide smaller pieces of equipment that people can setup themselves with remote help if needed.     Furniture such as tables and chairs is not available.

Please remember to look after yourself by taking additional breaks and doing suitable exercise as we all adapt to this new environment.    Things take a bit longer in this new environment and that is okay.    If you are getting stiffness or pain please talk to your manager about options and please also lodge an event report on RMSS.

I’d appreciate it if you could update your working from home information by answering the following questions (which appear at the bottom of the form):

• Do you have current equipment issues?   Things not working, sound issues, connection limits, not enough usb ports etc.  What would help?
• Is your internet connection performing satisfactorily?
• Who is your provider? (Optional)
• Is your internet plan unlimited?
• Do you have other internet issues?
• Do you have more general working from home issues UC could help with?

Kim will collate the information and we will see what we can do.

Ngā mihi,
Anne

PS from Tim: sorry these questions appear as caps by default in the form.  I will tart it up later with no SHOUTING.
