Written By- Indranil Roy
As the novel Coronavirus came into existence while enforcing a ‘new-normal scenario’ across the world, the mandated ‘work-from-home concept became a topic of national-level discussion. Though the transferring of workforces from office cubicles to dining tables has been the talking point since the Dotcom Bubble of 1990, ‘work-from-home’ scenario was rekindled by the chaos caused by the global pandemic. With the distributed workforce across diverse geographical locations, comes different opportunities and risks.
In this regard, companies across verticals are substantially adapting the social media tools to stay connected and collaborative. However, these platforms often lack a secured and streamlined process, jeopardizing data security and compliance. Companies need an integrated platform, having secure messaging across hierarchies, workforce tracking, data collection and other skill development aspects, encircled with an unbreachable parameter.
