How To Get Your Team Working Remotely

At the time of this recording we are in the midst of the Coronavirus crisis.  Like many other businesses we have made the decision to shut down the office and work from home.  This was a fairly easy transition for us as many of the productivity tools that we use are cloud-based, and working remotely is something that we do from time to time anyway. If working from home is new to you we have some recommendations for tools to use:

G Suite

• Use for calendars, email, spreadsheets, documents, slide presentations, and cloud storage
• Similar to Microsoft Office tools
• Inexpensive and easy to use
• All cloud based so you can access from any kind of computer or smartphone as long as you have an internet connection

Asana

• Cloud based task manager
• Multiple ways to use
• Robust task tracking

Slack

• Online messaging tool
• Use to communicate with others on your team
• Can also be used with other teams/people who use it

Calendly

• Use to coordinate meetings with others outside your team
• Sends available time slots, lets recipient choose a time, and adds it to everyone’s calendar

Hootsuite and Buffer

• Use to schedule social media posts
