Even if you are not sick from the virus, you are feeling the impact of it. As the coronavirus spreads across the U.S., the CDC has made drastic and wise recommendations to quell the virus\u2019 spread, including limiting the number of people who can gather and telling people to avoid public places. Suddenly, workers across the globe are being asked to \u201cself-quarantine\u201d and use \u201csocial distancing.\u201d This means staying at home and working remotely when possible. These mandates have put unique pressure on IT departments and IT decision-makers.<\/p>\n<p>Clarity is ready for COVID-19, the steps small, midsize, and enterprise companies&#8217; can take to support remote workers and ensure their online security.<\/p>\n<h4>Organizations not ready for the remote workforce as they think:<\/h4>\n<p>Many organizations think they have the tools needed to allow employees to work from home seamlessly. But now that work from home has become a mandate for many, cracks in the foundation are showing. From a lack of collaboration tools to a lack of interpersonal training on how employees should navigate remote work situations, organizations are scrambling to meet the demands of remote workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo many organizations are concentrating on finding a collaboration tool when the bigger issue is training people how to work with others in remote work situations, It\u2019s as much (or more) about the \u2018how-to\u2019 than \u2018what tech I have to do it, and many don&#8217;t know how.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a silver lining to these troubles. Organizations can now tackle their remote work policy head-on, get the right tools in place, and avoid a similar situation in the future. As Bruce Kreeger, President \/ CTO at Clarity stated, even if you don\u2019t have everything in place for a fully functioning, work-from-home plan right now, it is a good time to test what you do have and make optimizations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever your tech stack, if it&#8217;s not &#8216;in place&#8217; today, it&#8217;s likely not of help. Start by testing what you have, updating your user and IT documentation, getting everyone to TRY using the tools from home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t panic<\/h2>\n<p>A pandemic is serious. Thoughtful and sometimes extreme measures must be taken to keep yourself and your teams safe and healthy. However, taking extreme measures does not mean causing panic. IT decision-makers and key leaders have an obligation to help everyone remain calm in the face of this global crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Clarity is proud to have been providing Remote Worker Services to North America for many years.
