Joining the wave of national campaigns to support schools and their pupils through these still uncertain times, Connexus has donated over 60 desktop and laptop computers to schools across Shropshire and Herefordshire. The computers were no longer suitable for the work performed by Connexus staff but will now be used to assist children in the classroom with digital learning.
The pandemic and lockdown have brought about vast changes to our everyday lives, not least including the vast numbers of us now working from home. The latest data from the Office for National Statistics suggests that over a third of UK workers are now working from home. And that shift in work patterns has meant big changes for UK businesses, including Connexus.
With so many Connexus colleagues now working from home, we needed to change the way we worked. Part of this meant switching previously office-based staff from desktop to laptop computers, giving them that flexibility in the future to work from home or travel into our offices (when restrictions are eased).
But what to do with all those desktop computers? Well, instead of selling them, we donated these computers to schools across Shropshire and Herefordshire, helping improve the quality of pupils computer learning when they can return to the classroom.
