5 Google Workspace tools for remote teams

Businesses of all sizes are more and more distributed, with people working from home, from different offices or from different countries, and that makes it harder to work together. Google Workspace helps remote teams with that in five ways.

Real-time collaboration

With Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, several people can work on the same document at the same time. Everyone sees the latest changes, and nobody has to send emails or attachments back and forth.

If your team is working on a presentation, you can all edit it in Google Slides and see each other's changes as they happen. That keeps everyone on the same page and makes it easy to get feedback from each other.

Video conferencing

Google Meet makes it easy to hold video calls with your team. A call is a good way to get everyone on the same page, brainstorm ideas together and get everyone's input, and it helps your projects start well.

Chat

Google Chat keeps you in touch with your team, and you can use it to send messages and files and to start video calls. If you have a quick question for a teammate, send them a message and they can get back to you right away, so communication keeps flowing when you're not in the same office.

File sharing

Google Drive stores your files and shares them with your team. Keep all of the project files in one central place and everyone can open them from anywhere, which keeps the team organized and makes the files you need easy to find.

Data collection

Google Forms collects data from your team members, and you can use it to create surveys, quizzes and other forms. If you're running a customer survey, you can build it in Google Forms, send it to your customers and use their feedback to improve your products or services.
