Inhlangano yakho isabele kanjani enkingeni ye-COVID-19? Ngenhlanhla iqembu lethu e-iotum lenze kahle futhi lajwayela ngokushesha ukuphila ngaphansi kobhadane.
Manje sibhekene nesahluko esisha njengoba ohulumeni bekhuluma ngokuvulwa kabusha, futhi abaningi babhekene 'nokujwayelekile okusha' okuvela ngosuku.
Ihhovisi eliyinhloko le-Iotum lizinze maphakathi neCanada eToronto. Isifundazwe sethu - i-Ontario - sisebenzisa indlela ngezigaba yokuvula umnotho ngemuva kokuhlukaniswa kwe-COVID. Isigaba sokuqala, ukuvulwa kabusha okulinganiselwe kwamabhizinisi nezinsizakalo, kuqale ngomhlaka 19 Meyi 2020.
Lesi sigaba asakhelwanga ukubuyisela umphakathi ezinqubweni nasendleleni yokusebenza eyandulela inkinga ye-COVID. Idizayinelwe ukuqala kabusha kancane umnotho, ukubuyisa ukuqashwa, nokuthola indlela entsha yemiphakathi yethu yokuhlangana futhi. Uhulumeni wesifundazwe uxwayise ngokuthi uzosibuyisela endaweni eseceleni uma amacala e-COVID ephinda futhi.
Iotum, njengenkampani eyakha futhi inikeze ukusebenzisana okukude nokuxhumana, ikulungele kahle ukuzivumelanisa naleli qiniso elisha. Lapho kufika ukuhlukaniswa kwabantu, amahhovisi ethu amabili - iToronto neLos Angeles - ancishiselwa kubasebenzi ababalulekile oyedwa noma ababili endaweni ngayinye. Amalungu ethu amaningi weqembu aguqulwe ngokushesha asebenzela ekhaya. Ngaphandle koshintsho olusheshayo endaweni yokusebenza kwethu umkhiqizo wethu ubuhlala uqinile ngesikhathi sokuhlukaniswa.
Ngenkathi i-Ontario imemezela ukuqala kokuvulwa kabusha kweSigaba Sokuqala, sazabalaza ukunquma, njengezinye izinkampani eziningi, ukuthi bekufanele yini ukuthi sibambe iqhaza.
Ebangeni elingamakhilomitha angamakhulu amane e-Ottawa, abakwaShopify bathathe isinqumo sokubuyela unomphela kubasebenzi abasebenza kude beWFH. Eduze kwehhovisi lethu laseLos Angeles, uTesla uthathe enye indlela futhi wadelela indawo yokuhlala yaseCalifornia yokuvuselela imboni yayo ngokuphelele.
Izinkampani eziningi kungenzeka ziwele ndawo phakathi kwalezi zinto ezimbili ezeqisayo.
Kungani kufanele uvule kabusha nhlobo? Ngisho okwesikhashana?
Kithina, kunebhalansi yokugcina amasiko ethu ezinkampani (okunzima ukukwenza nabasebenzi bakude), ukuhlinzeka ukuphepha kubantu bethu nokuzibandakanya nomphakathi.
Amathuluzi wokuxhumana weqembu afana neSlack ne- ICallbridge zisiza ukugcina umkhiqizo. Kodwa-ke isiko lenkampani liyakhula lapho ukuhlangana okungakahleleki kwenzeka kuthatha ikhofi ekhishini, kubusise umuntu othimulayo, noma asize ngokushesha osebenza naye ngenkinga encane. Yonke le micu emincane yokuxhumana yakha iwebhu eqinile kasilika. Akuphatheki kangako ku-inthanethi kunakuqala.
Ukuphepha kubaluleke kakhulu, ngakho isu le-iotum leSigaba Sokuqala likhona ngokuzithandela kubasebenzi bethu. Ngeke sibe nesibalo esingaphezu kwesigamu sabantu bethu abajwayelekile ehhovisi (yize ngicabanga ukuthi ngeke liphakeme kangako), abantu bazokwenza njalo 
ziqhele ngamamitha amabili, amakamelo okuhlangana izolungiswa kabusha, ukuthuthwa kwendle okungeziwe kuzokwenziwa ngabantu kanye nasehhovisi lonke. iotum ihlinzeka ngokukhiqizwa kwasendaweni (UMoya waseYork - iToronto Gin distiller) yokuhlanza izandla, futhi itholwe endaweni (iMi5 Medical - iphrinta yase-Ontario) imaski ye-PPE.
Siguqulela indawo yethu yokusebenza ukuthi ibe yindawo ehlanzekile, yokulwa nokusabalalisa izifo.
Ihhovisi lethu laseToronto likuSt Clair Avenue West, engxenyeni ethokozisayo yeMidtown. I-LRT ima phambi kwesakhiwo sethu, ifakela abafundi isikole sendawo, kanye nabasebenza esitolo esikhulu sendawo, ibhange, amakhemisi, abameli kanye nama-GP, kanye nezindawo zokudlela ezimbalwa ezingenakubalwa zomakhelwane wethu. Ngaphesheya komgwaqo, ukwakhiwa kuyaqhubeka esakhiweni esisha esiphakathi nendawo esinolayini bezitolo ezisezingeni lomgwaqo. Amalungu eqembu lethu afaka isandla kulo mnotho omncane nsuku zonke. Singumqashi omkhulu kunabo bonke endaweni yethu. Ngaphandle kwethu kunesidingo kubaninimabhizinisi abancane baseSt Clair West abahlunga bonke abantu bendawo. Sinesibopho sokunikela - ngokuphepha - ezimpilweni zalabo abasizungezile.
Noma omakhelwane bethu abaningi bengayisebenzisi imikhiqizo yethu, sifuna ukuthenga i-espresso kuyo Lion Lion, ama-pistachio e- Iqembu leDola, vakashela indawo yakithi ekhazimulayo Ilungu lePhalamende uJill Andrew, ebhange eTD Canada Trust, futhi uthenge isidlo sakusihlwa kusihlwa eLuciano's No Frills.
Iotum, njengenkampani eletha abantu ndawonye cishe, ibuye ikhathalele abantu abahlangana ndawonye 'ngokungenzi lutho.'
Akekho kithi owaziyo ukuthi ikusasa lisiphatheleni, kepha sizama ukuzivumelanisa nesikhathi sethu. Njengamanye amabhizinisi, sizobe sizijwayele lapho isimo sivela.
Uma unendaba ethokozisayo mayelana nesipiliyoni sakho sokuguqula ihhovisi lakho, sifuna ukuzwa ngalo. Ikakhulukazi uma kuhilela ukusebenzisa enye yezinsizakalo zethu I-FreeConference.com, ICallbridge.com or I-Talkshoe.com.
