Lead your CSR initiatives to success by following these simple steps! Who doesn't have a Company...
6 easy tips everyone should follow to make the most of the new remote workplace setting
Get into the right mindset
As a manager, forget about preconceived ideas that home office = less productivity or less collaboration.
Unless you are not equipped correctly at home (bad signal, inadequate furniture, small space with no privacy...), hybrid working should be viewed as a great opportunity for a new team dynamic, a more efficient way of getting things done!
New tools have emerged to help you find balance, trust and efficiency: use them to your advantage!
See video calls as new opportunities to bring in a strong team collaboration
“Seing a co worker’s cat, or discovering your colleagues in their “natural” environment are great conversation starters and can bring in more empathy.”
What if communicating through screens could bring in more “human touch” and allow you to get to know your coworkers better than before??!
As people are “reduced” to a one size rectangle screen, this places everyone on an equal footing, where hierarchy and influence is less predominant.
It’s also an opportunity to bring in new team building ideas to[re)create a sense of bonding (fancy dressed meetings, virtual escape games, online cooking class , etc).
Create a consistent and productive hybrid work environment
You can not manage a hybrid work environment the same way you did when everyone was working under the same roof.
Keeping track of time, assignments, deadlines, distractions… Managers need to achieve the right balance between trust and control.
How about a tool that empowers team members with task assignation and the freedom to carry them out without being behind them at all times? ut still know where they’re at, and be available IF they need you. It’s a win win for everyone!
Choose a tool like Tamplo that opens with a 
dashboard of the tasks and meetings scheduled and a "day plan" where everyone can structure their day efficiently and
get to work on the most pressing matters.
Add a project management component to better assign and follow up on tasks at distance and without disruption.
With Tamplo, you have a clear overview of who’s working on what and their progress, if they need validation or feedback.
Invest in the right video platform
If you’re using Zoom, don’t settle for the free version with the 40 minute limit. We wish all meetings could only last that long, but that’s unfortunately not the case!
If you’re looking into a platform that’s more interactive for your internal organization, check out Teamflow
It’s a collaborative meeting space where you can feel like a team again with virtual coffee breaks and even add plants and decorations to your virtual desk!
Place team collaboration at the heart of your interactions
It's harder to interact or gather feedback from your co workers at leisure so opt for a tool where everyone can record tasks, comments, ideas.
..Tamplo has your back! It’s a collaborative tool where all documents are centralized and anyone can add comments on any given task and get their voice heard and recorded!
“If you have a project management tool, you can assign and track individual/ group tasks progresses, so less need to get everyone together to discuss who’s where.”
Give a new meaning to Meetings
Remote work calls for more video interactions, so why not take this opportunity to reinvent Meetings and make them great again?
Have fewer meetings, but more meaningful!
Think carefully about each Meetings’agenda and only cover what is absolutely necessary (and can’t be dealt via email). Only invite the relevant people and set strict perimeters and time limits.
Have engaging meetings that lead to actual decisions and action!
Make meetings a place where everyone can have a say, where efficiency and
Involve everyone by sending the minutes to all invitees (even the ones that weren't present).
