Measures to boost engagement with dispersed workforce

Pandemics such as the Covid-19 present uncharted territory for all of us. With the government encouraging people to work from home, companies are being forced to adapt to a reality they are not accustomed to. Communication is the lifeline of a workplace. With a dispersed workforce, a rethink on internal communication needs to take place.

For starters, companies need to embrace technology. Tools for remote communication and collaboration need to be incorporated. These tools have a number of innovative features companies will find useful. These include teleconferencing, chatting, file- sharing and communicating in groups or one-on-one for enhanced communication and teamwork.
