The coronavirus outbreak has unleashed global health concerns, and India too is now facing a public health crisis. To avoid social contact and crowded spaces, several organizations are now mandating their employees to work from home.
Working remotely from home and conducting meetings and sessions virtually is a good way to weather the outbreak. However, organizations need the right tools to allow the employees to communicate and collaborate securely and seamlessly, so this does not hamper individual or organizational productivity.
