Suddenly, whether by choice or necessity, many of us find ourselves negotiating the new reality of remote work. As a technology supplier to the creative community, FunctionFox wondered how we could best support our current users, and make the transition to remote work easy, affordable, and intuitive for those that haven\u2019t worked in this way before. With a recent survey* showing that up to 90% of creative companies are working remotely during the crisis, we wondered how we could help these teams to ride out the storm and prepare for recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starting Smart<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing the transformation of a traditional to remote workforce raises several issues, not least of which is how to get started without adding to people\u2019s workload or incurring excessive costs. For FunctionFox, this means keeping things&nbsp;<strong>simple and affordable<\/strong>, with an easy-to-follow set up procedure. FunctionFox is committed to being a valuable extension of your business. We help creative companies get setup to manage their businesses better in 30 days, or your money back. Guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>FunctionFox\u2019s technology is founded on its&nbsp;<strong>quick, accurate timesheets<\/strong>. For teams with remote workers, these are invaluable. Everyone can enter their time and expenses from any device with access to the Internet, and each time record is immediately available for reports, charts &amp; graphs throughout the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting Teams<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With collaborating team members scattered across the continent or around the world, keeping everyone connected is a huge challenge. Because it is so important that remote teams share project knowledge, FunctionFox created a&nbsp;<strong>Project Blog<\/strong>&nbsp;that gathers and updates project information in one central place. All revisions, changes and comments are centralized and available to the whole team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communicating Clearly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In uncertain times, clear communication becomes more important than ever. The risk of miscommunication increases when people are not able to meet in person, so it is important to build in opportunities to&nbsp;<strong>schedule virtual team meetings<\/strong>, and \u2018office hours\u2019 that are consistent and regular. FunctionFox enables everyone to stay on track toward common goals and objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Controlling Privacy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>FunctionFox guards confidential customer information carefully. We have also built into our technology both&nbsp;<strong>Access Rights and Restricted Access Groups<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 features that put you in control of which people have access to what information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying Creative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The more time that remote team members spend on administrative tasks \u2014 keeping paper timesheets, recording expenses, developing reports, or making sure time is allocated accurately, the less time there is for the lifeblood of every&nbsp;<strong>creative company<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 creativity itself. FunctionFox&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/covid-19-apps-for-doing-your-best-remote-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helps remote workers<\/a>&nbsp;put time to its very best use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encouraging Each Other<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a time to lead with honesty and conviction, to convey optimism and encourage others. It may not look like it from the middle of the current storm, but the&nbsp;<strong>sky will clear<\/strong>, and those who have kept building strong, remote teams will be ready for a bright future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Early Impacts of COVID-19 on the BC Tech Sector<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was written by FunctionFox.
