It’s an ordinary working day at the office and teams are responding to multiple clarifications from other departments. Employees drop into the IT department to request an additional email address for their team or design done for a project. They follow up days after and check on the progress of their request.

IT team currently manages incoming requests from different teams and discusses the priority requests that need to be assigned to responsible personnel. Meanwhile, in the HR department, the staff is overcrowded with emails, requests for letters, or calls with no priority level set. This is the scenario in most departments where they are overwhelmed with many requests.

It is now March 2020, a global pandemic forces corporates to operate remotely. The outbreak and spread of High-risk Covid19 mount across the world and so teams are asked to connect from home. How will HR, IT and other departments manage this inefficiency of request management? If these requests continue to go unattended, internal communication may collapse and the company could take a downturn. Companies are already vexing to survive, so it is crucial that companies maintain smooth and efficient internal communications between departments.
