Ask HN: Recommendations for Working from Home as a Team?

3 pointsby funerrabout 5 years ago
I work in a company where we are used to working in the office. The motivation is starting to dwindle and I feel like productivity will be next. ANy tips, tools or other thoughts that might help cope with the covid-19 quarantine?

Get to a point where you are regularly using Teams&#x2F;Skype&#x2F;Slack to video chat, both one to one, and as a group&#x2F;team - Anytime where you would go to someone&#x27;s desk, have a video chat with them rather than IM.<p>Pay attention to the quiet ones, they might begin to feel lonely and as much as some people hate video chat, especially when it&#x27;s not something you&#x27;re used to, it really does help with the isolation.<p>It depends what kind of business you&#x27;re in, however assuming something like software development, embrace tools like JIRA even more to track work and make sure people have things to do, and also aren&#x27;t getting stuck on something without asking for help.<p>For people that don&#x27;t normally remote work, picking up the phone or having a video chat can feel too intrusive or embarrassing - It&#x27;s a stigma that needs to be removed.
