And the worrying thing is more and more humans are now reporting the same concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/product-overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RingCentral<\/a> has prepared this guide so you can learn from these snowmen and avoid being left out in the cold this winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">1) When face-to-face collaboration is lacking.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to technological advances, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/video-conference\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video meetings<\/a> on personal devices are now a very viable way of collaborating remotely. Coupled with screensharing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/benefits-of-using-im-in-business-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">instant messaging<\/a>, no one should ever feel lonely this winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">2) When you fear missing calls when away from your desk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of manually forwarding your calls to your mobile each time (if you remember), simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/rcmobile\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">install an app on your smartphone<\/a> that allows you to receive work calls directly to your personal device no matter where you are.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">3) If you want to give a more professional image.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Expecting callers to hang up and redial your mobile is never a good idea when instead you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/call-forwarding\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">automatically forward calls<\/a>. Slick call menu systems and customised greetings can also transform first impressions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) If your team gets snowed under.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One way of sharing the burden is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/answering-rules\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">set up hunt groups<\/a>, meaning that calls can be taken by any available team member. This makes for more satisfied customers and happier staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) When you find your business scaling fast.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The last thing you want is customers waiting while you catch up. The smart answer is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/auto-attendant\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto attendant<\/a> with call queues to ensure people don&#8217;t just get a busy signal. A <a href=\"\/blog\/2014\/12\/4-ways-cloud-communications-uniquely-suited-modern-business-world\/?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cloud communications<\/a> tool means you can add new staff instantly without waiting for a technician.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) When disaster strikes. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unexpected disruptions can cause chaos. Having the <a href=\"\/blog\/2015\/04\/business-continuity-why-telecoms-are-vital-to-disaster-planning\/?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ability to reroute calls<\/a> on the fly and work from anywhere ensures you will never get caught out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) When colds and flu create gaps in the workforce.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rather than absence causing hold ups and delays, calls to <a href=\"\/blog\/2016\/01\/immunise-your-business-communications-this-cold-and-flu-season\/?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sick staff<\/a> can easily be forwarded to other suitable colleagues or straight to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/voicemail\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voicemail<\/a> so callers know exactly what to expect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) When it seems your feet don&#8217;t touch the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frequent travellers and <a href=\"https:\/\/go.ringcentral.com\/mobile-workers-uk?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mobile staff<\/a> are notoriously difficult to get hold of. But not if they use a cloud phone system that provides access to their office communications anywhere and lets their work calls follow them wherever they go.<\/p>\n<p>Now it may come as no surprise to hear the RingCentral system provides an ideal solution to all of these issues.
