Easy to use
Organizations can deploy with a one-step onboarding process after signing up. Post deployment, the admin can add employees by importing or uploading from an existing employee list, or by pulling data via easy integrations with Zoho People, Active Directory, Zoho Directory, and BambooHR.
The application is practical and feature-rich, to tackle the situation at hand. To ensure a seamless transition you can:
• Dynamically control the number of employees and visitors that a building can accommodate
• Decide how frequently self-assessment needs to be done, regardless of whether employees are visiting the workplace or not
• Mandate employees to fill in self-assessments every day they visit the office
• Restrict the number of employees who commute to the office via public transportation and / or carpooling, or who have a recent travel history
• Customize the cool-off period for an employee who’ s recently recovered from COVID-19
• Control the approval process for asset and maintenance requests
Utilising technology
Having a blended workforce that adds a significant amount of remote workers to the mix can make striking a balance a little more difficult.
Fortunately, virtual networking technologies can help here. A virtual meeting, for instance, allows both on-site and remote workers to hold brainstorming sessions and meetings without losing any of the benefits of being in physical proximity to each other.
When it comes to collaboration, a cloud-based office suite can enable seamless communications and teamwork, facilitating faster accomplishment of projects. That can be massively beneficial for both remote and onsite workers.
Technology can also help with another oft-cited headache when it comes to balancing remote and on-site work: project management.
A good project management tool will help you manage budgets, timelines, resources, communication and quality with a calendar, Gantt chart, time tracking, and group chat type functionality. If you can find one with automation capabilities, you’ ll also save time on routine tasks. Meanwhile, a visual workflow builder with a simple drag-and-drop interface is useful for making automation easier.
Remote or not, these types of technologies can streamline your day-to-day operations with meaningful enhancements like task list templates and routine task automations. It won’ t just make things easier if you’ re ever forced into a scenario where you have to take your operations remote for a period, it’ ll also help improve overall productivity.
