ABSTRACT

Under the circumstance of the rapid spread for COVID-19, telework became a necessary and efficient approach for both firms and employees. While COVID-19 does bring opportunities to the development of remote working platforms, there remain some challenges. This paper mainly discusses four factors that could significantly affect telecommuting and specific comparisons of Teams and Slack to evaluate why Teams surpass Slack. Through the preliminary study on this topic, subsequent researchers and corporation managers could acquire some adoptable information that might offer their management assistance under the background of COVID-19. In addition, the research is conducted to focus on investigating the information related to telework under COVID-19 constructed based on several completed actual statistical studies and outcomes. While comparing and evaluating its effectiveness, we also develop a general prediction of the future development trend of online working.
