To put it simply, there are <em>a lot<\/em> of virtual meetings scheduled in <em>a lot <\/em>of calendar apps around the world.\n\nThis shift in workplace norms has been a welcome change for many businesses that are enjoying the benefits that a remote work model has to offer.\n\nWith <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/remote-work-report\/\">our research<\/a> showing that <strong>88%<\/strong> of knowledge workers would work remotely at least one day per week, and almost a quarter (<strong>23%<\/strong>) would like to work remotely every day, we can safely predict that the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/work-from-home-trends\/\">remote work trend<\/a> is here to stay.\n\nTo support this change, organisations across many industries are paying more attention to remote work software and technology than ever before.\n\nBut with so many tools, technologies and solutions on the market to assist with the transition to remote work, which is the best for your business?\n\nWe&#8217;ve outlined some of the most effective, affordable and easy-to-use remote work tools to make managing remote teams, productivity and communication the very least of your worries, now and into the future.\n<h2 id=\"our-top-5-software-picks-for-virtual-teams\">Our top 5 software picks for virtual teams<\/h2>\nHelp your remote team work better with these must-have productivity tools.\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">For project management: 91爆料 Tasks, Asana<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">For remote team communication: Slack, Google Hangouts<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">For cloud storage: Google Drive<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">For remote team software security: Okta, LastPass<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">For managing remote team HR: 91爆料<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"project-management-tools\">Project management tools<\/h2>\nOpenness and transparency are fundamental ingredients of the remote working pie. Whilst there are many mutual benefits to a remote work model enjoyed by both employers and their workers, we know that managers still have <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/develop-trust-remote-working\/\">difficulty trusting their teams<\/a> to work productively from the comfort of home.\n\nThis uncertainty can lead to tight micromanagement regimes that leave both parties feeling dissatisfied.\n\nThe solution to uncertainty is simple and requires each party to be as open and transparent as possible. Thankfully, the digital age has equipped us with an abundance of software options that make remote team collaboration, project visibility and time management simple.\n\nHere are a few platforms that can keep your remote employees on their A-game in remaining productive whilst working from home:\n<h3 id=\"1-asana\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/asana.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Asana<\/a><\/h3>\nHave dozens of things on your to-do list?

And after all, being open and transparent begins with strong communication from all parties.\n\nInevitably, the popularity of virtual team communication platforms has surged over the past few months, and with so many of them on hand, it&#8217;s hard to know which one is right for your business.\n\nHere are a few that we have found to be especially helpful in keeping up conversation and company culture within remote teams.\n<h3 id=\"7-slack\">7. <a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Slack<\/a><\/h3>\nWe know that there are plenty of chat tools available to facilitate working remotely. However, this one, in particular, is simple and effective. Keep your team accountable for their work arrangements and ensure no one misses an update in the business.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Remote communication tool - Slack\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34730\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/slacknewdesign.0-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"600\"\/>\n\nWith Slack, you can create chat rooms organised by topic and private groups for direct messaging as a quick and immediate alternative to email.\n\nWith inbuilt <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/remote-meetings-how-to-guide\/\">video conferencing<\/a> capability for hosting online meetings, updating and time tracking on group projects have never been easier.\n\nSlack is a valuable communication platform where people get work done together.\n<h3 id=\"8-microsoft-teams\">8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-au\/microsoft-teams\/free\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/h3>\nIf you&#8217;re an Outlook user, Microsoft Teams is the corporate chat app for you.

Google Hangouts is a great tool that is designed to set remote teams up for success.\n<h3 id=\"10-zoom\">10. <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Zoom<\/a><\/h3>\nCommunication goes further than just spoken words and often requires tone and body language, signals that emails and phone calls just can&#8217;t convey. This is why platforms like Zoom are so important.\n\nZoom is a remote video call service that aims to make communication easy from any location. Presentations, webinars, company forums, virtual tours and collaborative projects are made possible with functional tools like the waiting room and screen share.\n\nWith different plans available and the most basic options for free, Zoom is a great way to connect distributed teams and make remote work <em>work<\/em> for your business.\n<h3 id=\"11-skype\">11. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/\">Skype<\/a><\/h3>\nSkype is one of the more well-known video platforms and is great for personal and business use.

Luckily, cloud-based technology allows for data to be created, shared and stored across multiple devices, meaning physical distance is irrelevant when it comes to the productivity of your distributed team.\n<h3 id=\"12-google-drive\">12. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/drive\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google Drive<\/a><\/h3>\nGoogle Drive is a cloud-based storage solution that can help you and your team collaborate on projects and manage content simultaneously. If a file is adjusted in Google Drive, it is immediately synchronised to reflect any changes whilst you track, accept and reject updates, adding feedback and comments for your colleagues along the way.\n\nWith control over who can view and edit documents and assurance that your hard work can never be lost, Google Drive is a great way for your teams to work together and complete their tasks with ease.\n<h2 id=\"security-software-platforms-for-remote-workers\">Security software platforms for remote workers<\/h2>\nOne of the requirements for remote work is making all your files accessible to remote employees from anywhere in the world, so remote collaboration between team members can happen.\n\nBut this also comes with its own security risks. The risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks is increased when employees are working remotely, as they may not have the same level of security that they would in an office environment.\n\nHere are some software platforms that can help to keep your company&#8217;s confidential information safe.\n<h3 id=\"13-lastpass\">13. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastpass.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LastPass<\/a><\/h3>\nAre you faced with multiple logins for each and every service used by the company, and is somebody <em>always<\/em> in that (probably out of date) password spreadsheet?\n\nWhen working remotely, it&#8217;s essential that your employees have easy access to the tools they need to complete their jobs quickly and efficiently.\n\nLastPass is a password management software that stores encrypted passwords online so that every member of your remote team can have remote access to the information they need, whenever they need it.\n<h3 id=\"14-okta\">14. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okta.com\/\">Okta<\/a><\/h3>\nOkta is a cloud-based identity provider allowing organisations to securely connect the right people to the right technology in their business.

The premise is simple; F.lux will adjust the light colour of your monitor depending on the time of day to reduce eye strain.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Employee productivity tool - F.lux\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34744\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/flux-1024x502.jpg\" width=\"600\"\/>\n\nWhile this can be set up automatically depending on your location, F.lux can also be customised to the users&#8217; preference of warmer or colder light at any time of the day. F.lux also comes with a handy reverse alarm.\n\nThis can remind you to go to sleep during those late-night working sessions so you can be well rested for your set wake-up time.\n\nStudies show that harsh blue light from monitors can place stress on your eyes and negatively impact your sleep schedule. F.lux is a great program for anyone working from home.\n<h3 id=\"17-quicklook\">17. <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.microsoft.com\/detail\/9nv4bs3l1h4s?hl=en-us&amp;gl=AU\">QuickLook<\/a><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Employee productivity tool - Quicklook\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34735\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/quicklook.png\" width=\"600\"\/>\n\nQuickLook is a very simple and easy-to-use program that will save Windows users an immense amount of time in the long run. If you use Mac, chances are you are familiar with using the spacebar to preview all sorts of files, photos and GIFs.\n\nHowever, Windows users have to wait for the file to open. QuickLook is available to Windows users for free in the Microsoft Store and replicates the Mac feature.\n<h3 id=\"18-cold-turkey\">18. <a href=\"https:\/\/getcoldturkey.com\/\">Cold Turkey<\/a><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Employee productivity tool - Cold Turkey\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34736\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/coldturk.png\" width=\"600\"\/>\n\nWhen you open Cold Turkey&#8217;s website you are greeted in bold with the line &#8220;Meet your match, Zuckerburg&#8221;. This encapsulates perfectly what Cold Turkey is all about \u2014 eliminating the parasitic and distracting nature of sites such as Facebook.\n\nCold Turkey is a website blocker that offers advanced features such as application blocking and cross-browser support. The program can be extensively customised as well, with options to lock blocks until a predesignated time.\n\nWhere other website blockers are simple to switch off and cheat, Cold Turkey requires a PC restart or the completion of a typing exercise to beat the block. Furthermore, Pomodoro-style break systems can be implemented if you can&#8217;t quite stomach going full cold turkey.\n\nIn the comfort of your own home, it&#8217;s easy to form bad habits such as excessively checking social media or watching a quick episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, especially when you work and relax using the same laptop.\n\nThat&#8217;s why blockers such as Cold Turkey might be necessary to counteract your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/tips-for-working-from-home\/\">limited focus in the home office<\/a>.\n<h3 id=\"19-microbreaks\">19. <a href=\"https:\/\/chromewebstore.google.com\/detail\/micro-breaks\/fofomifmemjbnomlpjdnengjfddljcbe?hl=en\">MicroBreaks<\/a><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Employee productivity tool - Microbreaks\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34739\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/micro.png\" width=\"600\"\/>\n\nAlthough there are hundreds of great apps out there that can help you take regular breaks, MicroBreaks offers some of the more customisable features. There are also hundreds of studies that prove the effectiveness of regular breaks in improving employee productivity and mental well-being.\n\nUsers can freely edit break timings, descriptions, notifications and icons. Plus, there are a few helpful templates to choose from.\n<h3 id=\"20-rescuetime\">20. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rescuetime.com\/\">RescueTime<\/a><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Employee productivity tool - RescueTime\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34726 size-full\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rescuetime_01-100154184-gallery.jpg\" width=\"580\"\/>\n\nWhile RescueTime won&#8217;t magically add more hours to your schedule, it can track your time usage habits and show you where your productivity is slipping.\n\nAfter installing the app, RescueTime will log each minute of your day and what you are spending that minute on, be it emails, Facebook or Photoshop.\n\nYou can then see which days or hours you are most productive, as well as which apps or sites are stealing your precious minutes. Apps and websites can also be sorted into custom categories depending on their use as part of your work.\n\nWorking from home can often lead to many distractions that went previously unencountered at the office. RescueTime helps to identify and prioritise these productivity leeches and will revolutionise the way you spend your time working.\n\nRescueTime can also be used by employers to monitor employee productivity, but it&#8217;s important to consider if it&#8217;s really necessary.\n<h2 id=\"should-you-implement-employee-monitoring-software\">Should you implement employee monitoring software?<\/h2>\nWhile the thought of not being in the same room as your employees (or even in the same country) can be daunting, it&#8217;s important to remember that when managing remote employees, you need to build trust and empower them to be their best selves.\n\nThat being said, we understand that some managers may feel the need to implement employee monitoring software in order to keep track of their team&#8217;s progress and productivity.\n\nHowever, we would urge you to consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/case-against-employee-monitoring-software\/\">negative impact employee monitoring<\/a> could have on your team&#8217;s morale and motivation, as well as the possible legal implications of the local laws before making a decision.\n<h2 id=\"give-your-remote-teams-all-the-necessary-tools-for-success\">Give your remote teams all the necessary tools for success<\/h2>\nWhilst there are undoubtedly many great remote work software available to assist your remote employees in performing in their roles, it&#8217;s important to remember that as an employer, it doesn&#8217;t just stop there.\n\nA holistic approach should be adopted to ensure that your remote workforce has all the right tools for success.\n\nFrom developing a clear <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/communication-cadence-distributed-team\/\">internal communication strategy<\/a> to guaranteeing structure and consistency for your team to work out the best ways to remain productive whilst working from home, it&#8217;s up to you as an employer to ensure your team members are cared for from the ground up.\n\nRemote working software is a solution for your business that goes hand in hand with another &#8211; supporting your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/support-remote-employee-wellbeing\/\">remote employees to be engaged<\/a>, connected and productive whilst working together to achieve your unique organisational goals.\n\nLooking to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/eor-guide\/\">expand your business globally<\/a>?
