One thing that you can do right now that empowers your business teams (especially those that are needing to work from home during lockdowns) is to provide the training that they need to become more efficient and productive whilst conducting work duties. 

Last year’s lockdowns taught us many things indeed including many businesses reporting that staff found it rather difficult at the beginning to learn new systems, software and platforms all while trying to maintain the job expected. However, those business’s that had foreseen this potential issue had already planned for it; they implemented a staff training plan and allocated the right resource (trainer). It was the one thing that many staff appreciated before they had to go on and work from home. ​

My Vcio is proud to say that we can help your business and business teams be more efficient and effective at working from home. It is especially important during these uncertain times of covid and lockdowns that you and your team ensure that things run as smoothly as possible. 

One thing that is a priority is your communication and communication systems. If you haven’t already secured yourself a proper solution then we have a range of phone system solutions for all Australian businesses. ​

Are you a Telstra Business customer? Do you still just check the total of the bill and just pay it without looking at the detail?

Working with over 400 Telstra Business, Enterprise and Government clients across the past 12 years, there seems to be the same feedback:

• Cant use online billing. It is too confusing.
• Can't access online billing. I have never been able to log in.
• Our Accounts department look after that.

What's the result? 

1. Generally paying for services that haven't been used in years.
2. No proactive management across the accounts.
3. Paying for items that you didn't realise were there.
4. Paying more than what you are using.
