Aberdeen IT firm IFB has launched a free service to help companies make the switch to remote working during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company - a member of the Scottish Business Resilience Centre - will advise on actions firms can take to prepare and a list of do's and don'ts to help ensure business continuity.
IFB has already been supporting existing customers with contingency plans but is inviting other firms to attend resilience sessions.
Chief executive Graeme Gordon, said: “In these unprecedented times, protecting the health and wellbeing of employees, while maintaining business productivity and continuity is a major dilemma for business.
“To help with this we’ve set up our online, one-to-one remote and home-working clinic designed to support customers, of all sizes. It’s not just about technology. It’s about how the technology can be used correctly to support remote working for teams of people who are used to working in close proximity whilst maintaining that critical feeling of teamwork and support.
"In some cases, this review has really accelerated our customers’ thinking and actions in advance of any potential large-scale disruption.”
Eamonn Keane of Scottish Business Resilience Centre said: “Initiatives such as those underway from IFB supporting its business customers of all sizes plan and prepare at a time of stress and uncertainty is great something we are SBRC are delighted to support IFB in as a member."
Customer sessions can be booked by contacting IFB on 0845 270 2101 or info@ifb.net .
