Usebenze njani umbutho wakho kwingxaki ye-COVID-19? Ngethamsanqa iqela lethu e-iotum liqhube kakuhle kwaye liziqhelanise ngokukhawuleza nobomi phantsi kwesi sifo.
Ngoku sijamelene nesahluko esitsha njengoko oorhulumente bethetha ngokuvula kwakhona, kwaye uninzi lusilwa 'nokuqhelekileyo okutsha' okuguqukayo emini.
Iofisi ephambili yaseIotum isekwe kumbindi weKhanada eToronto. Iphondo lethu-i-Ontario - liphumeza indlela enezigaba yokuvula uqoqosho emva kokuvalelwa kwe-COVID. Isigaba sokuqala, ukuvulwa kwakhona kwamashishini kunye neenkonzo, kuqale nge-19 Meyi 2020.
Esi sigaba asenzelwanga ukubuyisela uluntu kwiinkqubo nakwindlela yokusebenza eyandulela ingxaki ye-COVID. Yenzelwe ukuqala ngokutsha ngokuthe ngcembe uqoqosho, ukubuyisela ingqesho, kunye nokufumana indlela entsha yoluntu lwethu lokumanyana kwakhona. Urhulumente wephondo ulumkisile ukuba uyakusibuyisela endaweni yokuvalelwa sodwa ukuba iimeko ze-COVID ziphindaphindekile.
Iotum, njengenkampani eyakhayo nebonelela ngentsebenziswano ekude nonxibelelwano, ikwindawo efanelekileyo yokuziqhelanisa nale nyani intsha. Xa kugqitywa ukubekwa yedwa, iiofisi zethu ezimbini- iToronto kunye neLos Angeles-zincitshisiwe zangumntu omnye okanye ababini kwindawo nganye. Amalungu ethu eqela aguqukile kwangoko ukuba asebenze ekhaya. Ngaphandle kotshintsho olukhawulezileyo kwimeko yokusebenza imveliso yethu ihlale yomelele ngexesha lokuvalelwa yedwa.
Xa i-Ontario yabhengeza ukuqala kweSigaba sokuQala sokuvula kwakhona, sasokola ukwenza isigqibo, njengezinye iinkampani ezininzi, ukuba kufanelekile na ukuba sithathe inxaxheba.
Iikhilomitha ezingamakhulu amane ukusuka e-Ottawa, i-Shopify yenza isigqibo sokubuyela ngokusisigxina kwindawo ekude, ye-WFH. Kufuphi neofisi yethu yaseLos Angeles, uTesla uthathe enye indlela kwaye wadelela indawo yokuhlala yaseCalifornia yokuvuselela indawo yayo ngokupheleleyo.
Uninzi lweenkampani ziya kuthiwe phakathi kwenye yezi zinto zimbini ezigabadeleyo.
Kutheni kufuneka uphinde uvule konke? Nkqu nangokulinganisa?
Kithina, kukho ibhalansi yokugcina inkcubeko yethu yequmrhu (ekunzima ukuyenza nabasebenzi abakude), ukubonelela ngokhuseleko kubantu bethu kunye nokuzibandakanya noluntu.
Izixhobo zonxibelelwano zeqela njengeSlack kunye ICallbridge Unceda ukugcina imveliso. Ukanti inkcubeko yenkampani iyakhula xa unxibelelwano olungekho sesikweni lwenzeka ngokuthatha ikofu ekhitshini, ukusikelela umntu othimla, okanye ukukhawulezisa ukunceda ugxa wakho ngengxaki encinci. Yonke le micu mincinci yokunxibelelana yakha iwebhu eyomeleleyo yesilika. Ayibambeki kangako kwi-Intanethi kunasebusweni.
Ukhuseleko lubaluleke kakhulu, ke isicwangciso se-Iotum sesiGaba sokuQala ngokuzithandela kubasebenzi bethu. Asisayi kuba ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sabantu abaqhelekileyo eofisini (nangona ndicinga ukuba ayisoze iphakame kangako), abantu bayakwenza njalo 
ziqhelanise neemitha ezimbini, amagumbi endibano izakucwangciswa kwakhona, ucoceko olongezelelekileyo luya kwenziwa ngabantu kunye nase-ofisini. Iotum ivelisa apha ekhaya eveliswe (Umoya waseYork - iToronto Gin distiller) yokucoceka ngesandla, kunye nendawo efumaneka kuyo (iMi5 Medical - umshicileli waseOntario) iimaski zePPE.
Sihlengahlengisa indawo yethu yokusebenza ukuba ibe yindawo ecocekileyo, echasene nokusasazeka.

Ngaphaya kwesitrato, ulwakhiwo luqhubeka kwisakhiwo esitsha esiphakathi nendawo kunye nomgangatho wentengiso yasesitratweni. Amalungu eqela lethu afaka isandla koluqoqosho oluncinci yonke imihla.
