Improving Communication among employees during Lockdown| Flexfony Telco

With the guidelines for lockdown in order, businesses are forced to adopt work from home policies to ensure the health and safety of their employees. With work from home there come several restrictions, so companies should work on improving communication among employees. Effective communication helps businesses keep their employees and supervisors on the same page.

There are certain things to keep under consideration while communicating, when working from home, like being proactive during communication. Not able to see others can make you take communication levels for granted. One must be proactive in keeping a touch with other employees by not avoiding the communications and one must not drive work related communications informally. It becomes responsibility of the leader to communicate early and often and maintain transparency and engagement.

This can be accompanied by Scheduled quotidian conversations among teams and among various team leaders. A conversation at the start of the day allows every team to have a decent synchronization among themselves and with other teams. Another conversation, to confirm thework status, at the end of the day would motivate, or keep a check on, employees to conclude their work on time. So at least two conversation, among employees, per day would allow any organization to firstly keep the employees updated about their tasks and secondly keep a check that they accomplish the tasks with punctuality.

Is Work from home better or Are we not prepared for it?

This lockdown has made everyone to opt work from home to run their businesses and organisations. Many are advising to transform the way we look at running businesses by opting for work from home post lock down. But the question is - Is work from home that effective? According to me, Work from home can be a complimentary tool not a substitute. Every team work requires brainstorming and discussions which are productive if teams sit together rather than working from their homes and discussing over any video conferencing tool. Exchange of information is better when employees work in a common workspace. While working from homes the exchange of information becomes non uniform, teams of different departments, for example, would have information related to their department only and this increases with the size of organisation – the bigger the organisation more will be the non-uniformity. Working in an office reduces the time involved in resolving doubts that any team member or team may have re...
