Working remotely is a source of productivity if you have the right tools and practices. Dedicating a space at home for office duties, away from all distractions, will make working from home a lot smoother. Workers should decorate their home-office just as they would their regular office. Feeling comfortable in a pleasant workspace will make all the difference in the world. Decorating with images and small ornamental plants, as well as having liquids on hand to hydrate, will make it easier for the worker to embrace a state of work and productivity.
To avoid disconnection it is important to use communication tools. Communicating face to face with the rest of the team allows you to feel part of a two-way, interactive process. Meetings by video calls with colleagues will allow ideas, tasks, and activities to be shared. Using chat or email is effective when sharing small documents and communicating action plans.
Actions and results will be achieved by using tools for collaborative work that simultaneously support project monitoring and management by objectives. These collaborative tools allow you to designate, develop, exchange, and control everything that the team does. They must be supported by hosting systems for document control, which enhances the flow of information in a consistent and secure manner.
To achieve the best practices for teams working remotely, it is necessary that digital skills are up to date and, above all, that workers are motivated in the achievement of successful projects.
