We are a sporting nation, there is no escaping that, but how do you ensure the every main sporting event going forwards doesn’t affect the day-to-day operations of your company, and that you aren’t losing your workforce for days at a time?
The answer is with unified communications solutions from Unify. Give your employees the ability to work on the move with secure communication and collaboration tools from Unify. How does this help you? There is no escaping that people will watch the matches, but if they have the tools and ability to work before, even during, and after each match, then sick days will reduce dramatically. With presence available on these tools, you can see if they are online.
