Using Video to Manage a Remote Team During Coronavirus Pandemic

It’s impossible to ignore the effect COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is having on workplaces and the business market. More and more organizations look to take preventative actions to slow the spread of the virus. The obvious solution that has come to the foray is remote work.

One of the challenges of remote work is that in-person communications are removed when utilizing remote work. Today the global workforce relies heavily on remote work and freelancing and finding tools to maximize communication when locational barriers are introduced is a must.

Today we will dive into how to use video for remote work:

One-on-one Video Chats:

Video communication platforms such as Skype, GoToMeeting, and Slack offer the ability to have digital meetings that would usually take place in traditional conference rooms. This medium is great for getting feedback, answers to questions and ushering information to those who might need it.

Update Videos:

If a live video call doesn’t fulfill the needs of your team, video can be used in other ways to support your organization. Video updates allow managers and executives to provide updates on protocol and processes that may be affected by the pandemic. Direct reports can also utilize video to give end-of-day updates to managers or report any concerns that aren’t as time-sensitive.

Both of these strategies should be implemented by companies and supplement each other. If you have never used video to keep your organization running now is a great time to test it out. Video is the perfect tool to keep your organization running during this outbreak.
