Remote Working Measures May Be Recommended Soon

The UK Government has recently started to unveil their action plans for tackling COVID-19 and one of the key points for businesses is that the Government will be recommending that people work from home if possible.

The purpose behind this move is to try and delay the spread of the virus as much as possible so that the strain on the country can be mitigated and more time can be used to research the illness and find a cure.

Home working could be encouraged for up to three months while the nation attempts to move past the ‘peak’ of the infection and return to normal, large public gatherings may be cancelled and schools may be closed.

Zoho Remotely Can Provide A Solution

Zoho holds the solution to a lot of these problems, and rather than try to capitalise off the initial panic and rush, Zoho are offering their suite of remote working apps completely free until the 1st of July, 2020.

Remotely contains 11 apps that will keep your business operational, allowing you to hold meetings, training, collaboration and manage projects and because these are all cloud-based apps, you can do it all from the comfort of your home.
