Citipost Mail's digital solutions for the home worker
Recent and ongoing events have forced employers to review the working styles of their employees with more people now working from home; but, it’s not a simple case of sending staff home with a laptop and a mobile and expecting output to carry on as usual. Citipost Mail’s Head of Digital, Neil Chapman, looks at another of our digital solutions, Digi-Mail, and the value it brings to organisations, particularly in times of crisis, allowing users to send mail without leaving the house.
If the majority, or all, of your employees are working remotely long-term, there are logistical challenges to consider that you are unlikely to have faced when just a few members of staff were doing so occasionally. One of these challenges is printing and sending correspondence.
Why is this a challenge?
From a financial perspective you may find yourself receiving, processing, and auditing a large number of expense claims for associated stationery costs such as paper, envelopes, ink and potentially printers (particularly if extensively used). If staff are going to the Post Office, purchasing supplies and stuffing envelopes, is that a constructive use of their time?
What’s the alternative?
If your staff are working from home then Citipost Mail’s Digi-Mail negates the challenges of lack of access to the office franking machine, with the added benefits of no wasted resources printing, folding and sending letters. Digi-Mail is an online platform that makes it easy for you to upload, print and post your mail from your computer, saving up to 50% on mailing costs. Use your existing desktop applications to create your document as usual, upload in seconds via the easy to use website portal and leave the rest to us. Whether you are working from home for social distancing, self-isolating or in lock-down, Digi-Mail removes the worry of not being able to send mail.
