WFH Tips - Google

Continue to search for the WFH Tips to share with my readers. Here is the latest information that I got from Google website. Google had announced a Work from Home Tips recently, let me share with you with both English original and Chinese summarized translation so to fit my both readers' requirement.

Google recently had posted a WFH Tips in their G suite community: 8 tips for getting it done when working from home. I am not sure you can go into the G suite site or not, so let me copy the Link here also share you the content as below. (the link can't setup directly in LinkedIn, so I posted the whole link here : https://www.blog.google/products/g-suite/8-tips-for-working-from-home/)

8 tips for getting it done when working from home

Set up your team for remote work (首先要設置您的團隊能進行遠程工作)

Make sure your team has the right tools and processes set up before you transition from working at the office to working from home. Once they’re set up, here are a few extra steps you can take in advance: (在家工作"之前"，請確保您的團隊裝置了工具和設置正確的流程。接著有其他步驟如下參考：)

1. Create a team alias to easily stay in touch. An email list that includes all your team members lets you quickly share information, and a chat room can be used for faster-moving discussions. (創建團隊訊息圈以保聯繫。設置您所有團隊成員的電子郵件列表可讓您快速共享信息，還有聊天室可用於進行快速討論。)

2. Check sharing permissions on important documents so collaborators can edit and comment as needed. You might even consider creating a shared drive where your team can store, search, and access files from any device. (檢查重要文檔的共享權限，以便合作者可以根據需要進行編輯和註釋。 甚至可以考慮創建一個共享區，讓團隊 在其中存儲，搜索和訪問文件。)

3. Schedule meetings now so you can stay in contact later. Set up calendar invites, create an agenda ahead of time, and attach relevant docs to the invite. It’s also a good idea to make sure everyone is familiar with video conferencing. (立刻安排會議，以便您日後保持聯繫。設置日曆邀請，提前創建議程，並將相關文檔附加到邀請中。還必須確保每個人都熟悉視頻會議。)

Keep your team connected and organized each day (當團隊已設置好WFH, 接著應該要組織與保持團隊每天聯繫, 並保持步調一致 )

Now that your team is set up and everyone’s ready to work from home, it’s important to keep everyone on the same page. Now that your team is set up and ready to work from home, here are some ways to keep everyone on the same page. (保持步調一致的Tips 如下)

4. Hold daily meetings to stay connected with your co-workers. Working at home can be isolating for some, and video conferencing is a great way to keep people engaged. Try to be visible on camera when appropriate, present relevant content, and ask questions to spark conversations. When time zones prevent everyone from joining a meeting, record it—after making sure that participants feel comfortable being recorded! (每日舉行會議，與同事保持聯繫, 例如視頻會議是保持人們參與度的好方法，並提出問題以激發對話。如果時區阻止每個人同時參加會議，確保與會者不會不高興的情況下可以錄影留給沒法參加的人後續來看！)

5. Share goals and updates regularly. Whether it’s through a chat group or in a shared document that everyone updates, a record of what’s being accomplished is a great way to feel connected, keep everyone up to date, and follow-up on action items. You can also set up an internal site to consolidate important information and resources into a central hub for your team, or to share information with your organization more broadly. (無論是通過聊天組共享文檔，定期分享與更新目標完成情況。 )

6. Continue to practice good workplace etiquette. Just because your team isn’t at the office doesn’t mean they’re not busy. Check calendars before scheduling meetings, and when you reach out via chat, start by asking if it’s a good time to talk. You can also proactively inform your co-workers of your own availability by setting up working hours in Calendar. That way, if a team member tries to schedule a meeting with you outside of your working hours, they’ll receive a warning notification. (繼續良好的工作場所禮節。在安排會議之前檢查日曆，當您通過聊天聯繫時，請先詢問是否是聊天的好時間。您還可以通過在“日曆”中設置工作時間來主動通知同事自己的空閒時間。)

Getting your work done on the Wi-Fi at home

Sharing space—and an internet connection—at home means you might need to be mindful of the needs of others in your household. Here are a few tips. (在家共享空間和建立互聯網連接意味著您可能需要考慮家庭中其他人的需求。這裡有一些技巧)

7. Don’t spend all day on video. There are many tools at your disposal for staying in touch with your team, whether it's a chat room, a shared document, a short survey, or a quick conference call. Pick what works best—especially if you’re sharing an internet connection. (不要整天花費時間在視頻上。無論是聊天室，共享文檔，簡短調查還是快速電話會議，都有許多工具可用來與團隊保持聯繫。)

8. Find the right set-up for you. You might need to try a few different configurations before you discover how to stay focused and not distract others. Here are six tips for better video calls including how to turn on live captioning so you can read a transcript of the meeting in real time. (找到最適合您的系統與流程設置)
