Working from home is becoming more and more common in the work place. The employee needs to communicate from home just as easily as he does from the office. The basic equipment needed is a telephone and a headset. There are several solutions depending on whether or not the company provides you with a telephone or not. With today’s VoiP (voice over internet) technology, the company will often provide the same phone (i.e. Polycom, Avaya, Cisco) as they have in the office. If that’s the case, simply purchase the same wireless office headsets or corded office headset as would for the office. If you don’t have an office phone. Here are the best telephone/headset solutions for your home phone line:
