Adapting to COVID-19

Adapting to COVID-19

by Admin / Friday, 22 May 2020 / Published in Covid-19

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all businesses are facing unprecedented challenges. Amidst all of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the one certainty is that we are all, every person and every business alike, affected by this virus. Although there does not seem to be an end to the current situation for the foreseeable future, thankfully there are ways in which we as businesses can adapt and create a minor level of normality.

The biggest challenge is transitioning from office to working remotely. This in itself is not an easy or simple process. It requires a tremendous level of trust as a business owner to make this transition of employees working from home. It requires an incredible level of self-discipline, dedication, and motivation as an employee to work from home, which is normally your place of comfort and rest. As a business owner, you have to consider the equipment required for effective and efficient remote working; the availability of the employees to have remote access; the technical requirements, as well as technical staff required; the level of trust and security required; and ensuring that all employees uphold data protection regulations and protocols at all times.

It is no secret that this is a challenge that proves daunting, however, there is a silver lining. When working with a smart, like-minded, competent team of dedicated and motivated people, it makes this transition somewhat easier to endure. It slightly lessens the strain on business owners when the entire team works together like a well-oiled machine.

There are many lessons to be learnt during this crisis, but the one thing that we know for sure is that we do not need to face these challenges alone. It takes commitment from staff and from managers to create a workable remote environment. With a strong team, businesses can find ways to work together and adapt to these trying times.

We may not be able to beat the virus, but we can play our part in flattening the curve. By working from home, businesses keep their doors open, provide quality services, protect the livelihoods of their employees, as well as uphold regulations set out by our government. Let us all play our part and help each other adapt to these challenges.
