The Ultimate Guide to Building a Remote Team

Remote work is quickly becoming the new norm for the 3.9 million A
mericans who work from home at least half the week.

Managers report that remote workers are more productive than in-office workers.

Make a Plan

The benefit of hiring freelancers is that there is no long-term commitment and you can use them on an as-needed basis.

Start Small and Scale as Needed

Keep Connected

Response times will vary with remote teams, so it's important to provide your team with your expectations.

Recommended Tools:  

• Gmail
• Slack
• Google Docs
• Zoom.us

Stay Secure

Recommended Tactics:

• Proper Password Management: A good password manager program will generate a secure password and store it for you.
• Multifactor Authentication (MFA): While many websites require a password, more are now requiring extra steps, such as specialized hardware or a sensor on your phone. This ensures that a password compromise will not endanger an existing account.
• Constant Vigilance: No matter how secure you believe your current system of security to be, a healthy amount of suspicion is not a bad thing. If someone asks you to reset your password, asking them to prove their identity is a good thing. No one can fault you for being cautious.
