Are you now working from home?

Angela Purcell from AB Electrical

As many of our work force are moving to ‘working from home’, we are seeing people experiencing frustration with their ‘new’ work environment.
Common issues that people are finding frustrating and impacting their productivity include:

- Slow internet
- Poor WI-FI service, weak signal
- Power points not where you want them to be
- Poor lighting

We appreciate this is a new environment and that they do not design most homes for a ‘work from home’ situation. It is not surprising that this could frustrate you, as you test out your home for working for the very first time, and that you can see some areas that you could improve to make this experience easy and your work efficient.

AB Electrical want to help our community and are offering free estimates and 20% discounts.

AB Electrical would like to extend an offer to North Shore based customers who are looking to improve their ‘work from home’ environment:

1 Free on-site review and quote.
2 Consultation at our showroom with a full range of working down lights, power points & switches.
3 20% discount on materials and labour for jobs booked before 30 April 2020.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
