When it comes to working from home and being far away from your team, having the right tools to get work done as well as making sure communication between you and your team runs smooth is important.

Luckily, with working from home becoming popular in this modern age comes tons of useful applications that can help you and your team in a long run without having to step foot in an office (and save cost on transportation).

Here’s a list of some of them:

Jandi

The most important thing to have is a communication tool so you will constantly be in touched with your team and always keep up with updates that’s happening at work. Jandi provides many useful features apart from text and video conferencing. You can have topic-based chat rooms as well as a file management system made easier for you to search and share among your fellow colleagues.

The platform also comes with a simple schedule and task management for you to conduct meetings with your team. Jandi also let’s you bring all your tools in one place with it’s integration feature.

Jandi is now offering their services for free when you fill out the form on their website, do check it out!

Trello

It can be difficult to keep track of projects and tasks especially when there’s a lot of them needed to be done before a certain deadline. Things can get messy between you and your team. But fear not! Trello let’s you organise them with ease with it’s lists and boards that can help your team in a long run.

Set a task, set the deadline, and share them with the team! And you can even use it for your own personal use as well.

Google Drive

Google offers loads of tools whether it is for work or personal use. But what is most helpful is their Google Drive. Not many platforms allows you to share a huge file and that can be frustrating when you are doing videos or designs where the files are most likely to be big. Making them small will ruin their quality.

The next best thing is to upload your wonderful works on Google Drive and easily share them to your team.

Chrome Remote Desktop

We all have places to go and things to do which makes it tedious to help out a colleague that needs a certain file from you only for you to realise that it’s on another computer which you can’t access right now. That’s where Chrome Remote Desktop comes in, you are able to access your desktop anywhere and from other devices like your phone or laptop.

It also let’s your colleagues take over your computer if you have a technical issue that needs to be solved.

Microsoft Whiteboard

You know those office moments where you and your team sit together infront of a whiteboard, sketching and writing out ideas for your next project and tasks? Well you can do that from your own respective homes too with Microsoft Whiteboard!

You can write, type, or draw in real-time with your team during meetings and dicuss what will your next big project will be. The whiteboard also let’s you import images and apply sticky notes.

HAUZ

Workforce management platforms are also important when you are the leader of the pack and having to manage your team with ease. HAUZ can help in that area with many features (and more to come!) that are available for your management needs.

The time attendance feature may not be important for you but it can help with reporting as well as time management for your team. Besides, the platform offers other features which can help you. The Duty Roster feature helps when you have several teams and employees to handle. When you assign a task, your team will be notified of what tasks they need to do and it will appear on the platform’s calendar. The calendar also shows when your colleague has taken medical leave and won’t be able to do their task for the day.

Interval Reports are also useful for you and your team to take a picture of your current tasks and issues with a short description of what’s happening. The platform also offers you to download and print different types of reports for your boss or for your client to view.

HAUZ is now offering a free trial during the MCO period! Do check it out on our website as well as more information on other features at hauz.com.my
