THE ONE MISTAKE BUSINESSES CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO MAKE SINCE COVID-19

As we gradually return to some semblance of normalcy since Covid-19 hit our world, businesses have adopted innovative ways of ensuring health restrictions doesn’t affect daily operations. The success and profitability of businesses now seem married to how best each component of an organisation can effectively communicate.

The Pandemic has unravelled the communication gaps, raising certain questions such as;

● The usability of communication technologies that are already in the market (does these business solutions software meet business criteria and how quickly can they be implemented).

● The adaptability of human resources to these technologies (how quickly can teams function efficiently and optimally with this software).

● The scalability of these technologies to meet the medium and long term goals of the organisation (Is this technology still relevant post restrictions)?

These questions have forced business owners and teams to make uncomfortable adjustments that mitigate the impact of the restriction on communication, which is key to the sustainability of the organization.

However, business owners are quickly realizing that a quick fix is not a smart solution to these communication problems the pandemic has enunciated.

How many times have you told a client, ‘I must have missed your email’ or heard it from an employee?
