Provide quick and convenient assistance to remote staff with G Suite tools

Thousands of businesses have been caught off guard by the sudden need for the majority of their staff to work from home. Fortunately, Google G-Suite has the secure, reliable tools you need to get productivity back – from a distance.

The world is a different place than it was just a few weeks ago. The reality of the coronavirus pandemic has caught many companies off guard, with few structures in place to support the large-scale work of home initiatives that had to be launched in a matter of days. With entire states requiring individuals to shelter locally and many others recommending limited contact, office buildings across the country and the world are empty. This posed a significant challenge to organizations without any remote work procedures in place, particularly in terms of lost productivity and security. Fortunately, Google G-Suite tools are the perfect solution for keeping your teams connected effectively until the environment is deemed safe to work collectively again.

Using Google G Suite to Support Remote Personnel Following COVID-19

Although there is no official estimate of the number of people currently working at home in the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is easy to guess that the number is in the hundreds of thousands simply by nature by choosing some of the biggest employers: Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. Each of thesethe giants recommended that employees stay at homeif possible, and it was a period of adjustment for everyone involved. These organizations and several thousand others also limit employee travel, which increases the need for robust online collaboration tools. With Google G-Suite, businesses can quickly deploy inexpensive solutions that can keep their teams connected.

Collaborative editing with Docs, Sheets and Slides

One of the strengths of Google G-Suite is the ability to edit documents, presentations and spreadsheets together in real time. Since G-Suite is entirely cloud-based, your team and any subcontractors or external customers can instantly see the changes made on the screen. Your organization can lock documents so that only comments can be added, track changes, and make suggestions, all without compromising the security or integrity of the original document. In addition, the process is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, making it ideal for teams of all ages and all skill levels.

Google Hangouts

Need to quickly organize a conference call between multiple participants or call a team meeting? Google Hangouts is about to become your favorite tool! This easy-to-use solution provides live chat, video and audio calls or a mix of the three. Up to 25 people can experience video and audio options, while up to 150 people can share a group chat meeting. Getting started with this platform is easy, but it can quickly become chaos unless you appoint someone as a facilitator to help keep track of a multi-sided conversation.

Share Google calendars

Are you already using Google Calendar for your personal life? If so, why not share it with your team? Google Calendar integrates quickly with other G-Suite products, allowing you to create Google Hangout meetings from your Google Calendar app. It couldn’t be easier to use, as calendars can even automatically generate conference call numbers and links to cut down on the steps required to move your projects forward.

Hit their socks with Google Slides

Delivering presentations remotely can be fraught with technical issues – files too large to download, confusion about where you are in the presentation, ensuring that everyone is viewing the same content and more. Whether you’re bringing a new idea to a customer or your boss, Google Slides has all the key presentation options you’ve come to appreciate with other platforms, but with the added ease of presentation you’d expect from a G-Suite product. .

To help your staff stay productive at home, there is no need to include huge overheads or implement expensive new tools. With Google G-Suite, you can be sure that your content is securely linked to access controlled by personal or corporate Google accounts.
