How to work remotely and stay focused

Working remotely as a team

It can be easy to feel disengaged when you are made to work remotely, especially for many who are used to bustling working environments. We will share with you some tips and tricks that have helped us.

Working remotely doesn’t have to mean working alone, and with all the new technology and apps about you should never feel disconnected from your team. Here are some of the things we use to stay connected

Work is more than just a list of tasks

During this time people can begin to feel isolated, especially if they live alone, so make sure that they have a space to talk and catch up. A place where they can express their feelings. When you use slack why not start the day off with the group chat, say good morning and check in with the team. We like to send gifs to start everyone's day with a smile. Have dedicated chats based on project and deadlines, but also have a group chat where the team can talk and check in.

Some of the features you can enjoy with slack are:

Setting reminders
Using shared channels across workspaces
Pinning messages
Secure working environment
Integrate features and other apps

Meetings made easy

Prior to working remotely, you may have had weekly meetings, but that doesn’t have to stop. Try to keep your standard routine and catch up with the team. Zoom is great for this; the entire team can have a meeting from their own spaces whether this be a quick informal catch up, or an end of week target meeting Zoom is great to use.

Features that you can expect with Zoom

Share your screen
Record your meetings
Host up 100 members
Mute and unmute your audio
