The Iceland volcano ash situation continues to impact travel in Europe and the rest of the world. To date there have been more than 65,000 cancelled flights and most companies are issuing travel advisories to their employees to cancel travel to or from Europe and reschedule their trips until later this Spring. Even when airlines resume flights it could still take 7 – 10 days to clear the backlog of stranded travelers. What a mess!
When travel is impossible, like in today's environment in Europe, organizations still need to a way to connect, avoid cancelling meetings, keep productivity high among employees, and revenue flowing from customers. Collaboration solutions like voice and video conferencing are the answer!
Companies implementing collaboration solutions provide a way for employees to stay connected from remote locations and maintain daily face-to-face open communication with management, peers, and customers. Further, regardless of natural disasters, pandemics, or weather events preventing people from getting to work, recent social trends indicate that the future of workforces will be in nontraditional office environments.
By deploying real-time voice, video and data collaboration capabilities, companies of all sizes can continue to function adequately and provide essential services in the event of a lengthy pandemic or other major disaster. Be prepared. Don't let unexpected events throw a monkey wrench into your business operations!
