Utilize the top software. As your team moves online, their success becomes dependent on the software they utilize. Along with the standard toolset you’ll use to quickly communicate with staff like email and Slack, (which has built-in security for protected documents), you’ll need software that helps your team meet virtually, stay organized, and collaborate while out of the office. HR teams need software that makes their personnel-focused tasks easier, while allowing them to manage employee records from anywhere, on any device. Before selecting your team’s remote software stack, consider the following: • Does the user interface offer an intuitive experience, or will there be a strenuous training period? • Can this software scale as your company grows? • Is the system designed for your industry and company size? • Are there available features for managing contractors or freelance employees? • And the most important question for remote work: Is the system cloud-based? Test the software that checks all your prerequisites, and choose the one that fits your utility and price. A handy guide we created with help from our friends at Slack. | 6
