The Benefits of Digital Signage in an Office Setting
The onset of the coronavirus pandemic has made people cautious of how much interacting they do with others and the need to limit face-to-face interactions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, along with other viruses we deal with every year.
More than being a global health crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic is also upending the global economy. Many businesses find themselves facing the grim reality that if they don’t find a way to adapt to the crisis, they’ll end up closing their doors for good.
As most governments across the world continue to implement lockdown procedures, some businesses need to keep going. Grocery stores, essential businesses, and the warehouses and supply chains that service them all need to remain operational to ensure society continues to function – and this means keeping infected workers away from the workplace and protecting key workers from contracting illnesses.
Even before COVID-19, remote working was already quickly becoming the new normal. It took a pandemic to tip the scale, and now most jobs are being done from home. But it’s not always a smooth ride. There are many things that can cause productivity dips, one of them being limited internet bandwidth.
Despite businesses' reservations, remote working comes with numerous benefits, including lower overhead expenses and improved productivity. And with the coronavirus pandemic forcing employees to work from home, this might just be the tipping point for remote work to become the norm.
Providers of cloud-based services are experiencing a steep increase in demand these days, as the COVID-19 pandemic goes global. Because of the pandemic, many employees are working from home, relying on digital productivity and collaboration tools to get their job done.
Working from home increases employee autonomy, cuts costs, and ensures the health and safety of the company during the coronavirus pandemic. The problem is, it also increases the likelihood of security breaches since employees are working outside the company's security perimeter.
One of the major hurdles of shifting to a work-from-home setup is that the hardware your employees have at home can be very different from what they’re used to at the office. More than their computers and smartphones, these are the things your staff will need to set up their own home office.
With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, we are all looking for answers on how we can protect ourselves and others from spreading the virus. Businesses have a sense of responsibility to make sure they are keeping their environments free of COVID-19. Hikvision has come up with a solution! They have designed a thermal camera for human body temperature detection with +/- 0.5 degree accuracy! This camera is amazing and will even sound off an alarm if someone is outside of the safe temperature range.
Businesses and consumers are facing a lot of uncertainty because of the coronavirus pandemic. As COVID-19 continues to spread, the only thing that seems certain is that it will impact businesses, particularly the way they operate and use technology.
Increased reliance on communications technology
The need for remote interactions and stronger communications technology will inevitably increase.
