A new way to work: How to enable effective remote collaboration amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak

Apr 20, 2020

As the Coronavirus virus (COVID-19) cases increase around the world, businesses are struggling to support the productivity of a growing employee base who are required to work from home in an effort to contain the outbreak.

How do companies that have traditionally been rooted in offices accelerate this sudden shift to a remote workforce?

Here at Effective Data, we are a diverse company that operates in over 40 countries through a combination of global sites and remote workers. The key to business continuity for us during these volatile times has been to enable and encourage flexibility by reinforcing the importance of using digital collaboration tools.
