Remote work isn’t going anywhere, so finding the right tools that make your job less stressful and easier can make a huge difference.
Here is our list that can help you stay sane and be more productive by working smarter, not harder.
1. Around 2.0
This app supports video-conferencing by eliminating echoes when more than one person is calling in from the same space. By auto-muting noises in the background, everyone can leave their mics on throughout the meeting, eliminating distractions.
2. Orbital
If you’re tired of clunky links to join a meeting, Orbital offers a different platform. It’s an audio-only communication tool, where your video avatar can walk around and join in on the conversation 24 hours a day without clicking on a link. Gather is another customizable workspace where you can meet online.
3. Allo
Slack is too text-heavy for some folks and can be cumbersome. Allo lets you bring all your management tools together in one platform without juggling multiple tools. It has a built-in chat, so your colleagues can see your whiteboard and talk to you.
4. Pulse
Pulse is a nifty Slack add-on that automatically updates your status in real-time based on your set preferences. It allows you time to focus on what’s a priority and flows with your calendar. Collaborate and co-work with ease, as it displays your availability to peers and adjusts to your work hours.
Bonus: Outsmarting spyware apps
Fortune reports that digital spyware use is up over 50% since the beginning of the pandemic. As more employers try to ensure that their employees are glued to their desks, you may feel as if Big Brother is watching.
