>>> IT
>>> IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS OR BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CHILD WITH A COLD OR BECAUSE
OTHER PEOPLE AT WORK ARE SICK,
OR WHATEVER THE REASON, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE WORKING REMOTELY
RATHER THAN GOING INTO THE
OFFICE.
>> HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS.
THERE'S TOOLS TO HELP 4@YOU WOR
FROM HOME.
RICH BROOKS WITH FLIGHT MEDIA
HAS SOME OF THE TIPS FOR US.
THANK YOU 4@FOR COMING IN.
>> ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU
GUYS.
>> THE 4@BASICS.
WHAT DO WE NEED AT HOME?
>>4@ ONCE YOU'RE PAST THE
CO4@MPUTER AND INTERNET
CONNECTION, THE THING THING YOU
WANT TO DO IS WORK ON THE
CURRENT PROJECTS AND DOCUMENTS.
A LOT OF COMPANIES USE THE
GOOGLE SUITE.
AT FLIGHT WE 4@DO AS WELL.
WE ARE USING GOOGLE DOCS AND
SPREAD SHEETS, AND IT'S 4@EASY
JUMP ON THE LAPTOP I BROUGHT
HOME WITH ME 4@OR MY HOME
COMPUTER AND ACCESS 4@MY FILES.
OTHER COMPANIES MAYBE PC BASED
USING MICROSOFT 365, AND IF YOU
DON'T HAVE EITHER OF THOSE OR
USING TOOLS NOT IN EITHER ONE
OF THE SUITES, MAYBE YOU HAVE
SOMETHING LIKE DROPBOX, ONE OF
MY FAVORITES, PLACE IN THE
CLOUD TO STORE MY FILES.
WHETHER I'M AT HOME, AT WORK, 4@
ON THE ROAD, TABLET, LAPTOP,
SMART PHONE, DOESN'T MATTER, I
@ CAN ACCESS 4@THE FILE4@S.
I'M ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES FROM
WHATEVER DEVICE I'M ON.
>> IT'S NOT A GOOD THING TO
STAY AT HOME WHEN A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE IN THE OFFICE
KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON THAT
DAY AND 4@YOU DON'T.
IDEAS FOR STAYING IN TOUCH WITH
COWORKERS?
>> I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THESE
DAYS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF 4@VID
COMMUNICATION APP.
ZOOM IS PROBABLY THE MOST
POPULAR, AND THERE'S THINGS
LIKE SKYPE OR GOTOMEETING, 4@AN
I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT --
ALL OF TH4@OSE HAVE SCREEN
SHARING OPTIONS, AND THAT'S
NICE, 4@TOO.
IF YOU CAN'T LOOK OVER
SOMEONE'S SHOULDER, TO SHARE
YOUR 4@SCREEN, THAT'S CRITICALL
IMPORTANT FOR WORKING REMOTELY,
AND THE OTHER THING, JUST TO
KEEP IN MIND, SOME OF THESE ARE
FREE.
4@ FREE ZOOM AND FREE SKYPE, AND
THERE'S 4@PAID VERSIONS.
AND GOTOMEETING, THERE'S A
MONTHLY COST TO PAY FOR IT.
THEY ARE GREAT 4@TOOLS FOR
STAYING IN TOUCH VIRTUALLY WITH
OTHER PEOPLE.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY T
COMES DOWN TO WHAT THE CO4@MPAN
OTHER PEOPLE. >> AT THE END OF THE DAY T COMES DOWN TO WHAT THE CO4@MPAN@
SHOULD PROVIDE.
WHAT SHOULD COMPANIES THINK OF
FOR APPS AND PROGRAMS 4@FOR THE
EMPLOYEES?
>> A LOT 4@OF EMPLOYEES ARE USE
TO 4@WORKING WITH 4@ CONTRACTOR
EMPLOYEES? >> A LOT 4@OF EMPLOYEES ARE USE TO 4@WORKING WITH 4@ CONTRACTOR@
EMPLOYEES REMOTELY.
YOU CAN SET UP WHAT IS CALLED
SLACK.
THIS IS HOW YOU 4@CAN JUST HAVE
ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR
TEAMMATES, EVEN IF YOU'RE IN
YOUR HOME AND THEY ARE IN
THEIRS AS WELL.
THAT'S A GOOD 4@ONE RIGHT THERE
>> WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING
REMOTELY, IT'S NOT YOUR FIRST
RODEO.
YOU BEEN DOING THIS FOR 4@A LON
TIME.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU OFFER TO
PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW TO IT?
>> I'M SURE PEOPLE WHO DON'T
KNOW HOW TO 4@DO IT ON A DAILY
BASIS, THEY ARE FREAKED OUT
THEY WILL NOT GET A LOT DONE.
HIDE THE TV REMOTE.
DON'T SET UP IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU WILL CONSTANTLY GET SNACKS
AND TAKE BREAKS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT.
>> LET ME STOP YOU THERE.
IN OUR NEWS ROOM, HALF THE
TIME, WATCHING WHAT'S ON TV AND
GOING TO GET SNACKS.
>> FOR YOU, MAYBE YOU NEED TO
REPLICATE THAT, BUT 4@ALSO, IF
YOU DO HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR
HOME, WITH YOU, WHETHER THEY
ARE SMALL KIDS OR ADULTS, YOU
HAVE TO LET THEM 4@KNOW, IT'S
WORK TIME.
I WILL TAKE 4@CARE OF YOU, BUT
IT'S WORK TIME HERE.
I FOUND APPS 4@THAT MAY BE
HELPFUL.
FOCUS ME.
IT'S INTERESTING.
YOU'RE PARTNERED WITH ANOTHER
REMOTE WORKER, AND YOU HAVE A
SCREEN LIVE, AND YOU KNOW EACH
OTHER ARE BOTH WORKING ON YOUR
PROJECTS, AND THERE'S 4@A CERTA
ACCOUNTABILITY, AND THERE'S
ALSO THIS PAID4@ 4@MUSIC SERVIC
CALLED FOCUS AT WILL, 4@4@AND I
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO
INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY BY 4@
FOUR TIMES.
I AM PERSONALLY TOTALLY FINE 4@
WITH THE DOWN BEAT RADIO ON
APPLE MUSIC OR 4@THE FOCUS PLAY
LIST ON SPOTIFY.
MORE OR LESS FREE OR PART OF
THE PACKAGE.
I JUST RECOMMEND DON'T DO THE
ONES WITH COMMERCIALS.
GOING FROM A VERY ZEN 4@MOMENT
THIS USED CAR 4@SALESMAN IS
YELLING OVER YOUR RADIO.
THAT'S DISTRACTING.
>> I 4@FIND IT EASIER TO WORK A
HOME THAN IN THE NEWS ROOM.
THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON ALL
THE TIME.
I DO THE SAME.
I PUT ON CLASSICAL MUSIC ON
YOUTUBE AND DROWN THEM OUT.
>> OUR WORKPLACE 4@IS NOT AS
DISCIPLINED AS YOURS, RICH.
>> YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO MY
WORKPLACE.
>> GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
