četvrtak , 17.03.2022.

With the current economic and political climate remote working is not the new norm of work. This is the current scenario that the majority of us are dealing with in the present.

Many companies have shifted to teams that are fully distributed for the moment, but not everyone on a team is ready for the sudden shift. And although the savings in infrastructure might sound attractive for founders, when they happen in the middle of nowhere switching to telecommuting fails to live up to the media hype.

With no investment of time or money into training their remote workers, this guide is your ultimate source to tackle any challenges that can hinder your productivity when you work from home.

To present a unique guide to working remotely, I've used my own honest experiences and asked other remote workers to share their experiences and tips for working remotely in this kind of work were.

Strategies and tools to approach remote work

There's no single best way to work remotely. Methods and tools you use to handle your daily tasks and projects depend entirely on your own manner of working and also on the corporate guidelines.

There's no such thing as tools that are only meant for remote job offers. Frankly, they're not that different from the standard tools you use at work. That which worked well for other person might not be effective for you, however it will help you figure out where to begin and figure out what you've been missing from your remote work process.

To inspire you to come up with innovative solutions, I'll walk you through the entire process that you'll need to take when working remotely with a particular project from beginning to the end.

The principal method for communication

You've got your email account, but are you really going to read everything that's in your mailbox?

To stay in touch with your colleagues in real time and make sure you don't get a missed message, consider using cloud-based collaboration tools or a message board, such as Slack or Fleep. Workplace with Facebook. Slack is a good choice for those who want to integrate it with other apps you're using like Twitter, Giphy, Google Calendar, GitHub, Zapier and many more.

Don't rely on a single videoconferencing tool, though. Issues with connectivity may occur when you're talking to your teammate far away from the world. Having accounts on both platforms can be useful in the event that one fails.

The thing I love most about these tools?

Screen sharing

A must have for anyone remote job. In an office setting the norm is to visit your coworker to look at some thing. You can't do this. This is why video tools allow you to show what you're seeing to other people.

Remote combination with documents and files

This is what teams ought to be doing even if far from remote teams. Articles, spreadsheets, presentations. Creating these in a cloud-based tool allows your team to share and evaluate them in real time. Don't send back and forth emails that contain 20 different versions of identical documents.

Google has been a trend-setter in this case and remains one of the top choices for online document creation and editing. Members of your team can edit, write or leave comments, identify the mistakes or praise your work. It's all in real time.
