Is your business REMOTE Ready?

Is your business Remote Ready? With the Corona Virus pandemic and its effect on the economy and New Zealand business and people this is a critical time to be prepared with your business.
With a slowing economy the risk of staff loss through sickness you have to ask is your business prepared for this challenging time. Can your business still operate with the potential risks we are facing.
With the tourism industry being closed down and bars / retail and spaces of group gatherings all being restricted your business is required to keep functioning and you will want to reduce the amount of impact in this scenario.
So we have thought ahead and rather than waiting for the worse we have come up with some solutions to keep your staff safe and your business rolling along and it doesn’t involve stocking up on toilet paper and hand sanitiser.
We have prepared some frequently asked questions to guide you along in this time and for further information on having your business Remote Ready – our team at SmashingIT are ready to provide the solutions to ready your business to keep on moving.
What is being REMOTE ready?
Being remote ready is having your staff and business mobile – so that you aren’t dependent on using a centralized office space. This means staff can work from home and your business can receive orders for products online to minimize the amount of distruption to your business and reduces the amount of contact staff have with other people to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus.
Why do I need to be prepared?
With the changing risk management for the Coronavirus it is important to adapt. With the risk of schools being closed down and the chances of staff contracting the Coronavirus and having to self isolate its important to be prepared and lower this risk from a business perspective. This is to reduce and manage the impact the virus will have personally on your business operation.
Why do I not just wait till a staff member is sick?
The virus is highly contagious and a lot of offices, especially in small business setups have a close knit team of admin and office staff working in close proximity. So just like in flu season you get one ill person coming in and increasing the risk to other staff it is better to separate the staff and allow staff to remotely work from home. Also if a staff member has children who have their school temporarily shut down it will be an easier transition for this period for them to manage the health and well being of their family as well as being able to maintain their work responsibilities.
How do I prepare for the retail and customer facing sales impact that is starting to show nationally?
If you haven’t already then going digital with your business is a requirement. With Smashing Webshops we can have your business’s main products available for sale online within a few days. That way your customers are able to purchase and have your products delivered direct to their house. Especially those people in other companies who are working remote or looking after children they will be looking dominantly to purchase direct online from businesses rather than going to malls and other higher risk of getting sick areas.
