In the face of disruptions from Coronavirus (COVID-19), many organizations are asking their employees to work from home or be prepared to do so if there is a local outbreak. For example, Twitter recently announced that it was strongly encouraging it’s employees to work from home (WFH). In addition, many employees that were on business travel or enjoying their vacation/holiday became stranded in locations like Italy, China, and Japan when flights to the USA were canceled. Many organizations want to be sure that they are prepared for anything. There are ways you can prepare personally and that subject is being covered by our public health organizations. The purpose of this blog is to acknowledge and advise that there are ways you can prepare your business as well.
The fact is that companies that have implemented virtual and remote desktops are better prepared for these situations than those that do not have work from home contingency plans.
In uncertain times like these, your organization needs to ensure you have a business continuity plan in place. The proper plan can ensure that your organization has minimal disruptions and employees have the access they need to do their jobs from home if at all possible.
