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 .
