The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), has caused unprecedented disruption to how we work. People and businesses are on tenterhooks waiting to see what happens next as the situation unfolds. Many businesses have already enacted work-from-home policies where possible, causing businesses to rethink how to implement processes and technology for people to remain productive and businesses to continue to function and serve their customers.
Businesses with the tools and infrastructure in place to enable employees to work from home will be less disrupted. However, for businesses without the tools or infrastructure, it is uncommon for individuals to work from home, let alone everyone in an organization on an extended basis. Clear processes and technology can help create a more collaborative, digital workplace and will help businesses remain as efficient as possible, while also providing an important level of social connection to colleagues.
It should be acknowledged that not all businesses can simply have employees work from home and continue to operate. Any extended period of lockdown will, unfortunately, have dire consequences to many employees and business owners.
Assuming people have an appropriate work area and connectivity while working from home, it is important to implement tools, training, and processes so that workers can continue to be effective.
For those teams that can work from home, the challenges around information management, collaboration, and productivity they can potentially experience can include:
There are many facets to making a work-from-home policy work effectively, ensuring best-practice information management and collaboration continue. Here are some of the ways the key work-from-home challenges can be addressed:
Using OnePlace Solutions software, businesses can make it simple for users to share information and collaborate seamlessly and securely using Teams or SharePoint, even if they're not already familiar with these applications. Users can share information with their colleagues with just a few clicks and be assured that the documents they're accessing are the latest and most correct versions and that an important file isn't locked on someone's desktop while they're on sick leave.
Combining the OnePlaceMail App with Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive means businesses can remain highly productive even as their staff members work from home.
With the right combination of cloud-based tools, employees can be just as effective and productive from home as they could be in the office. This can help minimize the disruption caused by COVID-19, letting organizations conduct normal operations including meetings and close collaboration, all without requiring team members, customers, partners, or suppliers to come face to face with each other during this critical time.
As the community pulls together, businesses are trying to play their part.
Microsoft has already announced it will make its full-featured version of Teams available for free on a six-month trial to help companies affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to remain productive during this uncertain time.
