Last year, it was reported that 26% of the US population worked from home; however, that number has decreased by more than half to 12.7% with 28.2% working hybrid, according to Forbes article, "Remote Work Statistics and Trends in 2023". There isn't much of a need to have everything at your fingertips as most things that can provide you comfort, accessibility, and flexibility can almost be leveraged through the procurement office at work. Just joking; although fewer people work remotely, that doesn't mean you still can't find things to enhance your in-office workspace to make it more cozy. From upgrading your webcam to an ergonomic laptop desk these are great holiday gift ideas to make anyone smile.
