Although public opinion is divided on the actions and consequences of Coronavirus, one thing is clear: caution is important to avoid an increased number of cases. The only effective way at this time to prevent the spread of this new coronavirus is to increase personal hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and reducing physical contact between people, because of this more and more companies are being forced to implement remote working.
For more information on Coronavirus (COVID-19) visit the CDC website.
Remote working is an agreement in which part or all of the work is done from home or another location outside the office. In general, regular office hours are worked and deviations from that schedule require supervisor approval.
Remote working is easier to implement for jobs that can be done outside the office without interrupting workflow and communication. According to Cisco, traffic on the Webex backbone network, a solution that connects Webex users to their workplaces, has increased up to 22 times since the Coronavirus outbreak began. During the same period, Cisco saw four to five times more users in Japan, South Korea and Singapore, and the average time spent on Webex doubled among these users.
