Home-Office Setup

The physical workspace — desk, chair, monitor, internet — a remote worker uses to do their job from home.

A home-office setup is everything that makes working from home sustainable: a proper desk and chair, a second monitor, good lighting for video calls, and a stable internet connection. A comfortable, ergonomic setup protects both your focus and your body over the long term.

Many remote companies provide a home-office budget or stipend to cover it. Treat the essentials — chair, screen, connection — as an investment, since you will spend thousands of hours there.
