FRAMINGHAM – As part of its continued evolution to Staples Connect, the working and learning store, Staples US Retail announced this month a new assortment of products designed to empower modern-day work to happen anywhere.

Nearly 60% of the U.S. companies surveyed by Staples in May 2021 reported that they had already announced more flexible working options for their employees.

Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the number of newly registered small businesses grew by 24% from 2019 to 2020 due to the onset of the pandemic, the largest increase on record. With the vast majority operating as home or mobile-based, these small businesses are also seeking new, creative ways to evolve with the hybrid future of work.

“Since many people plan to work in a remote or hybrid environment moving forward, Staples Connect sought out the latest products to keep our customers productive, connected and engaged, no matter their location,” said Marshall Warkentin, Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer, Staples US Retail. “In a survey, our customers shared that modern technology and office essentials, like comfortable, dynamic chairs and mobile workstations topped the “must-have” list for increasing the productivity of remote work. Other products were added to our assortment with the intention of helping small businesses thrive from any location, often in new, unexpected ways.”
