Since the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus\u00a0 (COVID-19), it is no news that COVID-19 is at the verge of halting the global economy, meanwhile, WHO already announced it an official pandemic. As of March 18, 2020, Nigeria recorded 8 cases of COVID-19, yet the global pandemic\u2019s growing impact on its economy is far more significant. In a bid to curb its spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraged people to stay at home. Many governments declared that schools, businesses, churches, mosques should shut down and large public gatherings should be avoided. As a result, the economy will probably enter a downturn.<\/p>\n
However, many business owners are coming to grips with a world of work that spans from mildly inconvenient to completely crippling. As part of efforts to contain the effects of the coronavirus on the nation\u2019s economy, Organizations are left with two choices to consider in this current situation.I categorized the two choices into\u00a0Option A<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Option B<\/b>.<\/p>\n Apparently, Smart organizations are deploying option A which I call,\u00a0\u201cthe creative working solution-working remotely\u201d<\/b>\u00a0whilst some organizations, on the other hand, are thinking option B, forgetting to ask these questions;<\/p>\n When will the state of the economy be restored? It\u2019s hard and sad to halt a business, but it\u2019s even harder to restart a business. Therefore, the best choice to make in this present situation is to deploy to option A, which is, do not fall out, but, transition to a remote working operation, these answers the above questions. Working remotely is the working solution organizations need to adopt in order to\u00a0ensure seamless business operations amidst the Covid-19 outbreak.\u00a0While some organizations have adopted this alternative, some organizations are still waiting for a miracle to happen.\u00a0Here are some solutions to help you work remotely.<\/p>\n Creating A Functional Website<\/b><\/p>\n The first thing organizations need to put in place before considering remote operation is a functional website. The backbone of a business is a website, as\u00a0the backbone of your online presence, every type of communication, piece of content, or advertisement that you put online will drive the consumer back to your website. As such, it\u2019s important that your website gives consumers a clear idea of what your brand is about and what type of products or services you offer. Having a\u00a0functional website<\/a>\u00a0means that consumers are able to find you anywhere at any time.<\/p>\n A website can make or break your business, so this is the time to spend more time revamping and focusing on your site\u2019s appearance and functionality. A website that functions properly and is easy to navigate will set your business apart from the rest of the competition, thus, having a functional website gives you an edge against your competitors and also reminds the consumers that you are still in business.<\/p>\n After launching a\u00a0functional and professional website<\/a>, do well to make sure that it is properly managed. Most organizations in the modern world have a website, the question now is, is the website properly managed after launch? you do not want to create an impression that you are temporarily out of business.
