Thanks to the growing shift in technology, remote work is more accessible than ever. 70% of employees work remotely at least one day a week – all around the world. Is your company keeping up?
Remote work helps your employees balance their work and life, while also reducing company overhead with savings in rent and maintenance. Companies like Trello, Buffer, and Zapier are proving that with the right tools, any company can be successful in empowering their workers to work remotely.
Differences in time zones, hiccups in technology, and issues communicating are all obstacles that companies with remote workers face. Choosing the right tools for your remote workers is essential in ensuring that your team works together easily. Communicating through video will be easier than ever with Agora‘s advanced Video Chat SDK. Agora prevents packet loss, which is when data gets lost during transmission. Super slow loading times, jittery or pixilated video and interruptions are all signs that you’re experiencing packet loss. Upgrade your video and voice system so that your team’s communication never goes dark.
Use a project management system to keep your remote team connected with tools like live activity streams, visual templates, and charts. You’ll want to look for features such as task management, role-based features, documentation management, and collaborative editing. A great project management system will allow your team members to work seamlessly on any document, no matter their geographical location. Once you’ve implemented your communication and project management tools, pick a cloud-based storage solution, such as OneDrive and Box.
