“The past year has proven we can make that work. So if our employees are up for it, and they want to work from home forever, we are totally happy with that. And we will support them.” - Jack Dorsey

As the world shifts to a remote workforce, LeaderKeeper can greatly maximize productivity and efficiency while working from home. To get the most out of remote working, there are several tips and tricks that any Virtual Assistant can implement.

1. Invest in the Right Tools

To get the most out of remote working, it's essential to invest in the right tools for the job. Virtual assistants should invest in quality video and audio equipment, reliable cloud storage systems, and a good computer setup. Having the right tools can make communication and collaboration significantly easier and more efficient.

2. Take Advantage of Automation

Automation can help clients streamline their processes and make the most of their time. Automating mundane tasks such as scheduling and emailing can save time for more important tasks, allowing virtual assistants to focus on delivering quality services.

3. Create a Dedicated Workspace

Working from home can be distracting, and it’s important to create a dedicated workspace free from distraction. Virtual Assistants should create an environment that is conducive to productivity and focus. This could mean investing in a comfortable chair, setting up noise-reducing headphones, and organizing their workspace to be as distraction-free as possible.

4. Prioritize Self-Care

Self-care is essential for Virtual Assistants. Working remotely can be isolating and can lead to burnout if not managed properly. Virtual Assistants should take regular breaks throughout the day and enjoy activities outside of their work.
