Preparing your Business for a Pandemic

Along with tracing, detecting, testing and treating those infected, their advice is to mobilise people to isolate and suppress the virus. A key part of this is self-isolation, requiring people to stay indoors and avoid contact with other people for two weeks.

What’s crucial here is that businesses give their workforce the facilities to self-isolate. Forcing staff to come into work will lead to a quicker spread and more people infected. At the same time, allowing your team to self-isolate doesn’t have to result in a drop in communication or productivity for your business.

Read on to explore how technology can help prepare your business for a pandemic.

Self-isolation doesn’t have to mean isolating members of your team. With the right technology, your workforce can form a virtual team, without any compromise on productivity. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Members of a truly virtual team can share documents and data quickly and securely. They can communicate and collaborate across a variety of channels. And you can track their productivity, progress and performance in an instant.

Each of these functions requires the right technology. However, for true productivity, those various technologies need to be compatible, streamlined and secure. Crucially, they also need to be available wherever and whenever your team needs them – and across all devices.

This virtual team approach is reflected in our own resilient global workforce. At Aura, we promote agile, remote working. By providing the right technology for our own team, we can empower them to communicate, collaborate and succeed as one, global virtual team.

In turn, that allows us to deliver the best services for our customers. Regardless of any coronavirus self-isolation, for instance, we will still be able to provide the same responsive service to customers without interruption. But that’s not all…

As a functioning example of the remote working model, we can confirm that the benefits stretch way beyond pandemic preparation. Staff have a better work-life balance and more job satisfaction.

For us, that means a better chance to attract and retain the top talent.
