Mr. Vasanth Kamath, Co-Founder and CEO smallcase Technologies quote on the current coronavirus situation, measures taken by the company to ensure safety of employees and business continuity steps through Work-From-Home policy.
The most important thing right now for all of us is to contain the growth of the virus. Since social distancing has been the most effective & recommended measure thus far, we decided to implement WFH starting earlier this week.
As a company, we’ve always ensured to organise around numerous online tools – like Mattermost for communication, ClickUp for project management, etc. This has helped us reduce the impact on productivity & ensure business continuity even though our entire workforce is now working remotely. In person catch-ups/meetings have definitely been impacted, but Zoom & Google Hangouts have been very useful in offsetting this. And of course, the good old phone calls too.
