Zoho looks to mimic the office for remote workers with user check-in, live video feeds
As remote work becomes the norm for many during the pandemic, workplace chat applications have helped teams stayed connected.
But not all aspects of the office environment can be duplicated in a digital workspace. With updates to its Cliq messaging tool, Zoho hopes to provide greater visibility into who is available at given time – in effect, seeing who’s “in” their remote office and who’s not.
Among the additions are a check-in feature that connects with Zoho’s HR system to track employee attendance, acting as a digital ID swipe card that remote workers use to clock in and clock out each day by pressing a button in Cliq.
