Simplefusion is here to help,
If you're faced with having to send employees home to work or you're the employee that needs to work remotely. We have ideas and options for those of you that work from home. Below you will find general guides for working from home. Feel free to comment on this post, and we'll answer questions about how to solve common remote access issues.If an employee starts to show signs of illness, depending on the severity, send them home or quarantine them to a specific place in the office. Staff with pre-existing health conditions should stay home due to being susceptible to infection or disease. If an outbreak does occur, have a flexible plan for your company, and be aware of what is taking place in the local area surrounding your business.
When talking about a flexible plan here are a few things to consider:
- Reduce the amount of staff at a location
- Consider allowing office staff to work from home if they don't need to be in the office
- Offer flex shifts to separate workers
- Reduce Hours
- Cross-train employees to perform tasks outside of their department if coworkers are not able to perform their duties
- Virtual Communication Applications
- Teams
