Technology tools supported 3.2 million workers who would otherwise have been unable to perform their roles in compliance with social distancing rules - including about 1.6 million who may have been unable to complete any work at all.

A study by Swinburne University suggests, three out of four managers believe their staff will do more remote work after the pandemic than before it.

 
 
 
4. IMPLEMENT A GOOD PROJECT
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

E.g. Monday, Asana

Keeps everyone on task and meeting deadlines, and allows team members to communicate about projects and goals. This is even more important if staff are working remotely.
