In a remote work environment, understanding colleagues' work-from-home setups can foster connection and enhance productivity. At Fingerprint, a company with team members in over 20 countries, employees shared their essential items for remote work through a Slack poll, revealing the top five necessities: fast internet for seamless communication, quality headphones to improve call clarity, coffee and tea for refreshment, collaboration software to facilitate global interaction, and external monitors to boost productivity. The company supports these needs by offering an office supplies stipend and emphasizes the importance of reliable internet and effective collaboration tools like Slack, Notion, and Calendly to overcome the challenges of remote work.
