Congratulations! Your company decided that they want to establish a nearshore remote team for your business. You have selected Remote Team Solutions to choose the best team for your project and are ready to hit the ground running. But how do we set the nearshore team and the team in the home office up for success while working remotely? Read on and refer to the following infographic to learn about some essential tools to establish your nearshore team.
Reliable Communication
Having reliable communication tools is essential with your main office and the nearshore team being in different locations and time zones. Choosing reliable communication platforms with an easy-to-use interface helps the team stay in contact with each other and address any questions, revisions, or issues. Establishing a daily or weekly meeting schedule using these tools helps maintain lines of communication while building camaraderie and trust between team members.
Text and video communication platforms are worth the investment to keep your teams in contact and up to date with expectations. Platforms such as Slack, WhatsApp, Zoom, and Google Hangouts can help ease the communication divide and keep your team connected.
File Management Tools
When building your company’s remote team, coordinating files should be more organized than a long email chain. Utilizing a single platform that shares multiple files across all team members makes the communication and collaboration process easier. Services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Huddle, and One Hub can help you streamline file sharing within your nearshore remote team.
Project Management Tools
Keeping all team members up to date with projects and deliverables requires a clear and easy-to-use platform. A system that utilizes easy-to-define tasks and methods of tracking assignments is essential for a nearshore remote team. Platforms such as Wrike, Active Collab, Trello, and Pivotal Tracker are some options for project management tools that could benefit your organization.
