Epson Eases the Transition Into Hybrid Work Environments with Innovative Productivity Tools

Epson Offers Advanced Printing, Projection and Scanning Technologies to Make the “New Normal” Easier for Professionals

There is no denying how people work and learn dramatically shifted in a very short period of time – on both professional and personal levels. Even as companies begin to safely reopen their doors, 74 percent are now shifting to allow some employees to work remotely on a permanent basis. As we move towards more hybrid workplaces, it is important for employees to easily gain access to the right tools available to ensure productivity, regardless of location. To help people adapt to this “new normal” work environment, Epson provides highly reliable and innovative technologies to help alleviate stress and enable greater productivity wherever they set up shop at home.

We understand the new challenges and added stress many people are going through during this unique time, and Epson wants to help,” said Mike Isgrig, vice president, North America Consumer Sales and Marketing, Epson America, Inc. “We want to help ease this transition with high-quality technology and tools to help take the stress out of the home-based workday.

From the office to home and back again, as people navigate new ways to work and learn, Epson offers several solutions to help maintain productivity and enjoy entertainment during down time.
