About the Session
At PSPC we use Windows every day. Working from home introduces some new challenges for those of us who are used to working in a traditional office setting. At work we can easily collaborate with colleagues, print documents, get on site support for our workstations. These become more difficult in a work from home scenario. This session is focused on giving users some tips and tricks to help make their move to a work from home setup on your personal or PSPC issued computer more enjoyable. The tips and tricks you will learn are also useful when we do return to an office-based work setting.
