The COVID-19 pandemic forced many Zimbabwean businesses to work from home almost overnight. Many have kept some remote or hybrid working since. These are the technologies and habits that make it work.
Connectivity and power
Reliable internet with a backup option, plus solar or battery backup for routers and laptops.
Cloud tools
- Email and shared calendars on your own domain.
- Cloud documents and storage.
- Video calls and team chat.
- Task and project management tools.
Business systems online
Accounting, CRM, booking and ordering systems that staff can use securely from anywhere. A website that handles enquiries and orders reduces the need for office-based admin.
Security
- Two-factor authentication on all accounts.
- Updated devices and antivirus.
- Clear rules on shared and personal devices.
- Regular backups.
Processes
Clear expectations, regular check-ins and measuring results rather than hours.
