The world that we’re living in, at the moment, is something that we’ve never experienced before. Where we were able to control every aspect of our lives in the ‘P.C’ (pre-corona) world, now we are living in a world in which we are subject to an entity that is not understood and what little information there is about it is not finding itself in the hands of you and I.
The result of this lack of proper information flow is that rational and educated people are finding it easier to believe fake news because it is the only information that is available and it has the appearance of ‘trueness’. All of this is because there is a lack of transparency being displayed.
The consequences of a lack of transparency
In organisations, if the leadership is not transparent with other stakeholders this leads to said stakeholders losing trust in the leadership and, ultimately, leaving the organisation. Employees need to be engaged with the organisation as, if they are, they will do the best that they can in order to make sure that the company succeeds.
During this time of uncertainty, where employees are working remotely and, as such, are not in constant contact with each other, it’s vital to increase levels of transparency and communication so that they have certainty that what they are doing is meeting the requirements of management and that their jobs are secure.
A centralised communication platform is needed
Technology has given us the ability to create platforms on which workforces can collaborate so that everyone is able to be on the same page and get the information that they need in order to perform their jobs to the best of their ability.
It’s not just employees who benefit from these platforms. Leaders do as well because when the entire organisation collaborates together those in leadership positions are able to acquire peace of mind that everything is being done in such a way so that the smooth-running of the organisation is guaranteed.
So what platforms can be put in place to ensure continued collaboration?
