Make Remote Workforce Communication Easier
for Employees
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, those who were self-employed made up the vast majority of the remote workforce and were expected to become the majority of workers by 2027. With the rapid market changes in the last three years, however, the number of remote and self-employed workers and employees has already become the majority.
Keep Remote Employees in the Know
Remote work has accelerated at intense speeds, and while every remote employee is not a freelancer, effective communication remains a top priority for employers and all their employees— no matter their location. To attain this success, managers must create an open and effective communication system that is easy to use, efficient and accessible.
Such a system, at a minimum, can quickly align key stakeholders in an emergency (or drill), addresses safety protocols, and houses important company policies and procedures, but should also provide the capabilities for other important announcements and updates. In the modern remote workspace, finding the necessary communication tools extends beyond video conferencing software, web cameras and hybrid technology for meeting spaces.
Successful remote work environments include planning for employee safety and communications with comprehensive mass notification systems and remote work policies.
As the workplace continues to shift drastically after a years-long-pandemic, critical communication will be more important than ever. The health and safety of employees remains a top priority, but the ways in which employers protect and interact with them may look a little different. Employers can do more to keep their employees safe and up-to-date on all company news and policies with a comprehensive communications platform from Rave Mobile Safety.
How Can Remote Workers and Their Employers Utilize a Critical Communication System?
Remote work is likely to remain an integral part of the workforce for employers in all industries. Transitioning a large number of employees into a remote working model means employers must be prepared with a comprehensive communication strategy that keeps everyone in the loop, no matter where they are located.
In the last few years, we have seen how quickly disruptions can occur and how dealing with uncertainty provides an extra challenge for businesses of all sizes. Stressors, such as being in the field alone, severe weather, and ever-changing public health protocols and procedures mean employee engagement and connection are necessary for managing employee well-being.
An efficient critical communication system not only helps prepare for, respond to, and mitigate potentially disruptive situations, but enables employees and their employers to have frequent communication in day-to-day operations or during significant changes. Such systems allowed key stakeholders to send out notifications no matter where employees are located.
