The traditional workplace has always had everyone working together at the same location, usually at the same time. Modern technology and the needs of our evolving business world have led to an ever-increasing number of employees working remotely, however. This work set-up can be a great way to reduce overhead, but it can cause headaches for management if they’re not in a remote mentality. You just can’t handle remote teams the same way that you do onsite workers and expect to get the same results. With that said, what’s the best way to handle workers who work remotely? While

Video communications were once thought to be the epitome of futuristic vision, but now they’re fairly commonplace. Social media and webmail clients even have video communication technologies built in. With the technology being so commonplace, though, is there any way that you can leverage it to save your business money? Yes, there is. There are actually several, in fact. Understanding Video Communications When you think of video communications, you might think of something like Skype. You’re right, of course, though there’s much more to video communications than that. In addition to consumer-focused video software like Skype and FaceTime, video conferencing

The workplace is always evolving. This means that the way things ran just a few years ago might not flow as smoothly now. More importantly, new types of media and communications may start replacing the workplace communication trends of years past. Of course, if you’re not careful, your company may be left in the dust as new technologies come into play and other businesses move away from the hardware, software and other tools to which you have become accustomed. Even if you aren’t planning on making any changes at the moment, it’s always important to be aware of changes in communication

If you’re like most people, you’re struggling to be more organized and effective at work. If you haven’t already done so, consolidating your work flow onto one device is a great way to save time and be more efficient on the job. The closer you get to a true paperless office, the less time you’ll waste shuffling piles around in your work space. The best way to take a giant step toward having a cloud office is to start depending on your smart phone as a work tool. Consider these powerful apps and think of all the physical tools you

Whether you’re an independent contractor or a remote worker, your home office has to be much more than a desk set up in an empty corner of your home. Like any other serious workspace, your home office should be a dedicated environment set aside only for work tasks. If you’re setting up a new home office, or looking for a way to increase your efficiency while working at home, creating the right work environment is crucial for a positive work experience. The Work Environment Most will agree that the most important part of setting up a home office is to

You might think of video conferencing as a combination of a phone conversation and a personal meeting, but it’s really an entirely separate thing. The concept of getting multiple people together virtually is a relatively new one, and the etiquette of these meetings is still evolving. Common sense rules derive from telephone conversations, video tape and department meetings, but the combination of all three influences has created a new area of work rules that apply to video conferencing and nothing else. Follow these basic rules and expand on them to fit your personal work culture: What They See The video

Social media is such an integral part of most people’s lives that having a Facebook business page might seem like a no-brainer. That’s far from the truth, however. Social media marketing takes a solid time commitment, and it’s not useful for every type of business. If your industry needs widespread advertising for occasional users, such as for computer repairs, swimming pool supplies or gardening tools, a Facebook page might not be for you. But if your business thrives on repeat customers and you want to turn your regulars into a close-knit community, a Facebook page can do that like no
