We’d never admit it, but the internet has changed our world.
It’s no longer a vast and unfriendly place filled with strangers that don’t speak the same languages as you do. True, the world is still a pretty big place; but being given the opportunity to communicate with anyone around the world within mere minute definitely makes it friendlier. And though we admit there are so many languages out there, modern technology and education ensures that there’s always a way to work around this particular hurdle.
And that, sort of opened up the stage for people wanting to work online; and work with others who live in different parts of the world. If you’re an entrepreneur who’s looking for ways to make your online business work with staff from different part of the world;then here are out suggestions to you.
Branch out the duties.
For a company or a business to run smooth, it’s important that duties are branched out and delegated. This is more pronounced in your business. If your company or business is fairly small, then it’s possible for you to handle all of the divisions yourself. But the larger your company grows, the more names you have under your payroll, the more complicated it gets.
Use a common platform.
Unlike in a physical company, you don’t get to share an office building where everybody brings in and does their share of the work. It’s even possible that some of your staff member don’t share the same time zone as you, making it rather hard for all of you to be online at the same time even if you want to. Using a creative mobile apps or software gives your company’s staff a common platform, where everybody can bring their share of work to.
No problem is a small problem.
Just like with any other company, it’s importantthat you try and solve out the problems right as they surface. Unfortunately, if the members of your company are scattered around the globe, it’s possible that you might not notice it while it’s happening. Again, you can look for apps and companies that will help you find enterprise solution to your problems when required.
Have proper communication with everyone.
Apart from the above, you can also consider having a social media group (WhatsApp or Facebook being the most commonly used) where you can freely communicate with your “online staff”. Make it an unofficial hang out space where everyone can relax. Take time and pay attention to the little things in there. This is how you will get to know them; as you don’t really have the option of taking your staff out for a bonding meal like you would do in physical company.
