Being Covid compliant doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. We don’t do things the usual way at Home, so why should our workplace signage be any different? We wanted to put our Homie magic into our reboarding graphics to bring a smile to people’s faces as they return to…
Ready or not, Boris thinks it’s time to return to the office post-COVID19. At the start of the pandemic the advice was clear: stay home. Workers hurriedly grabbed their laptops and chargers – the lucky ones also took their screens – and set up ‘shop’ at home. All of…
