9 Tips to Get Your Organisation Ready for Remote Work

With the coronavirus situation forcing businesses to adapt work from home arrangements, it’s important that you address these 9 aspects of the business.

9 Key Areas to Address

Here are the 9 key areas you need to address if you want to prepare your organsation for remote work:

1. Messaging and collaboration
2. Internal communication
3. Webcam
4. Physical mail
5. Telephones
6. Data and files
7. Line-of-business apps
8. Insurance
9. HR and Legal

Why These 9 Areas Are Important

Working on-site and remotely is different. If you have never implemented telecommuting before, then you’ll soon encounter several challenges that all revolve around communication and collaboration.

For example, text messages and phone calls might work in the short-run, but over time, you’ll realise that this is very inefficient. It makes searching for conversations, files, and other important notes related to a project very difficult.

And if you’re like most businesses, you probably have not previously offered “telework” to your staff. So, from an HR and legal perspective, this might be an issue.
