As the world faces the biggest health crisis since the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak, we need to stay strong and come together as a community to combat COVID-19 and keep our loved ones safe. This means practising social distancing and opting for work from home as required.
The first and most important thing to do is to not give in to the panic and mass hysteria and to follow the official WHO Guidelines for prevention and safety. Another thing to keep in mind during these trying times is to trust information only from reliable sources and to not credit every piece of information circulating on social media.
While the outbreak of COVID-19 has created many challenges, a major problem being faced by many across the world is the challenge of how to conduct essential business processes as they work from home.
In today’s age of instant connectivity and cross-collaboration across cities, countries and even continents, you need advanced solutions that enable real-time coordination across geographical distances and time zones. The need for effective collaboration with remote teams becomes even more crucial in light of the current situation as cases of COVID-19 witness a sharp spike in numbers across the world.
So, as the world shrinks to the confines of your home and everyone maintains their distance to curtail the further spread of this pandemic, the situation calls for an urgent solution to the problem of managing remote work teams as more and more people opt for work from home.
Furthermore, as a business owner or senior manager, you are faced with a conundrum during these trying times. On one hand, you need to stay isolated for the sake of public health and safety and further ensure the well-being of your employees by letting them work from home.
However, on the other hand, you also need to keep your business growing for the sake of economic stability. Experts across the world are already estimating a tremendous loss of business and jobs across multiple sectors and industries with the impact of the current pandemic resonating across businesses and industries for at least the next 2 years.
At ARDEM, we have an advanced technological solution that offers some relief to the current crisis. Our cloud-based collaboration platform enables you to coordinate with remote teams managing different departments, all from the safety of your own home.
