The article aims to discuss effective communication strategies in a remote staffing setup.
Invest in Suitable Communication Software for your Remote Staff
The modern workplace is hybrid. With a new workplace setup comes the capability of organizations to adapt to the requirements that come with it. Since most of the work has transitioned from onsite to a remote setup, the existence of cloud-based collaboration software make it possible for remote staff to function efficiently and seamlessly.
Consulting and insights group Gartner, in its 2021 Digital Worker Experience Survey of among 10,080 full-time employees at organizations with 100 or more employees in the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific, found out that nearly 80% of workers are using collaboration tools for work in 2021, up from just over half of workers in 2019, an increase of 44% since the pandemic began. In addition, 74% use Storage/Sharing tools in 2021, up from 64% in 2019.
Here are the top Communication Platforms and Storage/Sharing tools that can help improve communications between globally distributed teams:
- Slack
- Microsoft Teams
- Skype
- RingCentral
- Dropbox Business
- Drive from Google Workspace
- Microsoft OneDrive for Business (part of the Office 365 bundle)
These software and a lot more can be integrated by Connext Global Solutions within your dedicated remote support teams.
