Top tools to maintain a well-communicated remote team

Going remote is more than a temporary trend: it’s safe to say it’s here to stay. In order to run a successful remote team, able to meet the expectations regarding compliance and performance, communication is crucial.

It takes some organization skills and a lot of commitment in order to make it work, but once you have gathered the right team of professionals, it all is worth it.

Fortunately, there are many ways technology can help us stay connected with our remote team, no matter how far they are physically.

Messaging: Slack

Instant messaging is a great way to stay communicated with your team, but most platforms are not suitable for a professional environment. Apps like Whatsapp are more intended for personal use and might cause unnecessary distractions. Slack is a very useful tool for team communications. It allows you to divide by departments, particular subjects and one-to-one communication. It’s also great for sharing photos and videos, since media files will keep their original size and will not be compressed, like Whatsapp does.

Task management: Monday.com

Task boards are a great way to distribute workload and have a preview of each team member's progress and performance in real time. It also helps you organize and prioritize tasks in order to focus efforts on things that need to be accomplished faster. This platform is a great way to supervise the team’s compliance so you can avoid having to be constantly messaging.

Videocall: Zoom

Zoom is a powerful tool for video conferencing, allowing you to connect with all your team members in order to share your thoughts, have briefings, meetings and pretty much any kind of direct communication that is needed at the time.
